... a moving object like this. I could hardly breathe there was so many people on it!  The site for the Golden Temple was originally a villa built in the 1300s. The temple burnt down in the 1950s by a monk attempting suicide. The temple was rebuilt in ...

... We also decided that a day off doing nothing was in order to deal with my sneezes and fever, so we changed guesthouses to the Golden Temple Villa, a new place full of very nice people and the all-important satellite tv to veg in front of while you're ...

... very good.  The Khmer people are quite different looking, almost closer to Indian, with dark skin and larger frames.  Golden Temple Villa prides itself on 4 star service with 2 star prices, so we got a welcome drink (beer and lemon ice tea) and ...

... but because they had received so much rain over the last few days the town was flooded! We got driven by a free tuktuk to the Golden Temple Villa where we had booked for 2 nights. After a very wet and bumpy tuktuk ride we got dropped off, got our room key ...

... Arrival in Siem Reap: Our tuk tuk pickup was waiting for us with a sign "Welcome Tiffanny Ing". We pull up at Golden Temple Villa. Gorgeous. It wasn't five star quality, but compared to Mulu (i.e. jungle) it was luxurious. Everything was so cheap! There ...

... A small garden of raked sand awaits you as the hedges end and you fish ¥500 out of your pockets for admission into the temple grounds. A couple weeks prior, I'd spent way more than that on a lame wax dummy theatrical show in Salem that taught me what I ...
