Only a short stay for us here but boy was it mentle..

Phnom Penh the capital was a bit nuts.. like any capital there were more beggers, more homeless, more diasabled... this of course went alongside more money, fancy cars and exspensive houses.

Siem Reap however, probably the craziest place in the wooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrld.
The town was cool, bars restaurants and shops..

But its all about ankgor vat - temples galore near siem reap. looking back at the photos is a waste of time.. they are so large, vast monstorous and crazy.. one was so old and disussed a jungle had grown over in and around it - this is the one thay call the tomb radier one, because it was used in the films..
All a must see... do it. especially if your hardcore and get up at 5 int he morngiht to see the sun rise over the temples..

The most fun event thou was waking up a tuc tuc driver and getting him to take us to a cambodian club, where all the locals go.
So we went.. and suprise suprise theres 3/400 cambodians and two white guys.. however they are about 5ft tall so we were giants there.. the boncers were the closest thing to us and one even requested comparing biceps.. i won!

After the tuc tuc driver sat us down with his mates and we had seafood rice porridge, proabably the greatest meal in the world - with beer and tea, they paid for the lot.

For those who dont know, a tuc tuc is a kinda motorbike with a trailer.. and they vary across this area.. in cambodia it is litterally a 50cc scotter with a trailer.

That was cambodia, short and sweet..

Party on!

Too much fun
Sounds like having a gas out there Thomas. Do you have a member in your party called Adam? If so tell him to tidy his room. What an adventure, we are all in a state of envy. Take care now. Aruuem
