Enter Siem Reap

The bus to Siem Reap was OK, I had a sick lady sitting next to me from Phong Peng. I hope I ddin't catch anything. I arrived last night quite late and just checked into the hotel the tuktuk dropped me off at. It is easily the nicest place I have stayed but it is fairly expensive at $8 a night. I feel a little guilty about splashing out so much on accomadation but I cant be bothered to move now and my tuktuk driver is meeting me outside here tomorrow at 5am. I am just chilling out today, slept in. Did some shopping, bought some Khmer trousers but I am not sure why because I cant work out how to do them up properly so they look a little twisted. Even though the man showed me how all of 30 minutes ago!!

The town here is stupidly touristy, it is good in the evening but there is so much hassle from tuktuk drivers and children selling you stuff. Even a random kid who just wanted to beat me up!

Angkor Wat tomorrow, I am going to do some research now to choose which temples I am going to visit. It is going to be an expensive day, a ticket for the temples is $20 and then a tuktuk for the day is going to be about the same, hopefully a bit less, like $15 but it depends which temples I choose to see.

I am a bit worried about the money situation. Here and Bangkok and HK are all very expensive, I hope I still have enough left for my last 2 weeks! The bus to Bangkok is $10 and takes 12 hours[ish]. I will leave here on the 11th, have that night on Khaosan road then fly the next day to HK.

Oh that is cool, I just saw on facebook that Kris Sullings is possibly flying out to Bangkok on the 20th so I can hook up with him for my last 2 weeks, that would be awesome!!
