Well we finaly made it to Siem Reap and the temple complex here in Cambodia. It was a bus ride to remember, however; not the least of which was the guy next to us snacking on crickets the whole time. Oh, and he spits... I dont know, the legs onto the floor of the bus...gross. We also witnessed the cooking and eating of gigantic spiders at a rest stop alon the way. Ahh, Cambodian cooking... All in all its been great. We spent the day afoot, looking at ruins and taking many pictures. Kelly was constantly swarmed by children vendors, asking her to buy " four for one dolla! Good price fo you!" which she gave into about 50% of the time (much to my dismay). Cambodia has been quite the adventure, it is very different from Vietnam. This is a very poor country, but the people are friendly and trying hard to make a better life for themselves. Siem Reap is a popular destination with the international toursists, and we have been making friends with a few other backpackers we have met along the way. Tomorrow we will check out a few more temples outside of the main complex, and hopefully get the chance to see the Center for Khmer Ceramics, and a few of the local markets. Then on Friday we will head back to Vietnam with a flight to Hanoi. Cheers!
