I am in Siem Reap tonight, home of Angor Wat, Cambodia tonight. We spent our last day in Saigon this morning, and flew out in the afternoon. The day’s activity was first coffee around the corner from the house, then a cab ride through the harrowing scooter traffic to the Ben Wat Market. A large market with everything from fish to flowers and all clothing in between. Drove a couple of hard bargains to the level of pissing off the vendors, and was able to get an OK deal on a jacket for Reb.
Flew out this afternoon, and landed in Siem Reap, where the people are beyond nice. Customer service is at a whole new level here, and the prices are also at a whole new (low) level. It is a pretty dusty, impoverished place, but we’re staying at the Khmer Mansion Hotel which is VERY nice, and the Pub Street is across the way. Pub Street is a carnival like atmosphere combining the Atlantic City boardwalk, Vegas, and the streets of Olongapo, PI from the 80s into one. Ready for a good nights sleep, and then Mark K and I are going to run around town tomorrow.
