Back in bangkok

---

Well everyone im back in bangkok and have found some high speed internet so i uploaded some pics straight from the camera no having to resize or cut the quality. So ill fill everyone in on what i have been upto and what i will be upto, might be the shorter version and a little mixed up on which day i did what (i forgot my journal at the hotel again).

So i went to the temples again for the second day and visited angkor wat for sunrise (still very cool although it was cloudy) and then explored angkor wat for a while then went to another temple (sorry didn't post anypics of this) called the ladys temple (cant remember the proper name right now) which has the most intricit carvings out of any of the temples and was our local tour guides favorite. We then caught a boat to battambang where we went on a motorcycle tour of the country side and then took a cooking class, on the motorcycle tour we went to a lot of small villages where every village makes something different like fish paste and rice paper, then we took the bamboo train which was hillarious and scary at the same time it can be put together in 2 minutes and dismantled in the same time so if 2 meet then one just gets disassembled and then the other passes, the rails aren't straight or level on this train so its like a roller coaster so much fun. We then went to another town (cant remember names right now forgot journal) where we went up a mountain in the back of a pickup (it had seat things but wasn't covered) through the jungle in the pouring rain all day to a deserted town from the 1930's where there is a casino/hotel (thats what the pictures are) among other buildings, it was a key outpost in the khmer rouge time and they fought vietnam from here a lot. On the way down the mountain (through the rain) we saw wild monkeys (of a different type then i saw earlier on the trip) which was really cool. Then we went to Sihanoukville where there is a nice beach and we went snorkling and swimming and visited a fresh water waterfall lots of fun, then back up to phnom phen where i thought we could do some shopping in the huge markets but guess what all closed because of a national holiday (well we found one or 2 shops open so i got some shopping done) then i flew out to bangkok this morning and got a hotel room stored some stuff that i dont need to lug around with me and signed up for my diving course which i leave on a night bus tomorrow for ko tao (so i will arrive the morning of the 25th) and my dive course will take me to the 30th. Well they should have some internet there as well but probably slow so maybe dont expect nice pics like the ones i did today. So hope everyone is keeping well and ill see you all soon
