what I did this weekend

We are about to head back to Bangkok after two days in Siem Reap. I feel like we’ve spent a week here as it’s been so packed with activity. We arrived late on whatever day two nights ago was, and some motorbike taxis took us from guesthouse to guesthouse looking for a room. The same two guys took us on a tour of the temples yesterday morning starting with angkor wat at sunrise.

I have done so much that is beyond words. Ancient temples, cambodian weddings and a funeral, sugar cane candies, elphant rides, good food, dirty streets, land mine victim musical groups, land mine victim beggars, motorbikes, tuk-tuks, tazer guns, rice fields, crodiles, catfish, and even a small vietnamese boy and a puppy paddling across a large lake in a wash tub.

Did I mention that everybody uses US dollars here. But there are conveniently no coins (can’t change them). Cambodian knuckle massage by blind man, 3 dollar. Guide book that has a $27.95 price tag on it, 5 dollar.

Our tuk-tuk driver is watching TV behind us while he waits for us to finish with the Internet so he can take us to the airport to fly back to Bangkok. Must go now.
