Angkor Whaaaaat??

Hey there homies! I am now in Cambodia. Spent yesterday travelling which was pretty long, got up at 7 and had a 2 hr bus trip to the border and then hadto go through visa and immigration befoe having another 3 hr bus journey into Siem Riap, arrived at the hotel at about 4.30. The people in Cambodia are so nice! Especially the people in the hotel i really like them. Oh yes so anyway i am now with my group i realise i havent mentioned that yet, they are all nice, similar ages to me and there are people from England, Australia, Denmark, Holland, Finland and Ireland! so a nice mix. the only annoying thing is that im the only member of the group travelling alone, eceryone else is with a friend/partner so i am always the one who has no one to sit next to on the bus! but hey its more leg room i suppose, and i also am the only one who gets their own room. This morning we got up at 5am to watch the sunrise at the angkor temple which was really beautiful. there were alot of tourists there which kind of ruined the atmosphere but it was still very calm and serene and i managed to get some good snaps. I know this isnt very chronological but i must tell you about last night, we went into the centre of siem riap or a few drinks down bar street, (draught beer is 50cents and cocktails are $2!) and then we went for dinner in a really nice little restaurant. i decided ot mix things up a bit from the usual stir fry so order a beef dish with green peppers... and when it came out i thought i might die from happiness. It was STEAK AND CHIPS!!! soooooo good and such a nice change from rice, but it was a khmer steak so it was still local food! but definitey the highlight of my day. then we went to the night market where i did a cheeky bit of haggling for a pair of flip flops and got approached by about 20 different people working on different 'fish massage' stalls where you sit with your feet in a tank and the fish nibble off all your dead skin. i passed on that one. anyway just had breakfast (bacon and tomato and potatoes and mini bananas and strange pink spotty fruit) and going back to the temple in about half an hour so i better go. sorry about any spelling mistakes this keyboard doesnt have letters on it so im kind of guess typing. keep the emails coming! i love coming to the pc and having messages from you all it really makes my day. speak soon! x
