Cambodia

seim reap

sunny 40 °C

Well i was eager to return here again as i enjoyed the people,culture and food last time.. This time the heat was unbearable for me,although the rainstorms at night were fun.
Unfortunately i picked up a nasty bug and my time spent was limited to my bed in the hotel with a few quick outings to internet cafe and cold drinks.I'm not sure if this was related to a trip with locals to west barei lake and swimming in the water or that nights drinking session and food from a street stall.
So a bad end to my return to cambodia and made me decide my travelling time is at an exhausting end after 6 mth and to head back to bangkok to rearrange my scheduled flights.

siem reap

sunny

Landing at siem reap the airport looked like a large chalet type guest house which was unusual but nice.Again the heat here was hot and humid. I took the adventurous way into the city on the back of a moto with my backpack stuck firmly between the driver and the steering column,and at a cost of 1 usd good value.I let him take me to a guesthouse(obviously he gets commision)and at 10 usd dollars a night,which i paid upfront, was ok but i looked eleswhere and found better ,newer and cleaner along the road so i'll check out after my 2 nights.
You can hire a tuk tuk driver for about 10 dollars a day to drive you and wait for you wherever.I walked about to find my bearings,had some food and was constantly harrassed by the child beggars selling books,postcards and bangles.At least they are kind of working for a living by selling and some push around wooden carts with the books on display.
That night and new years eve i decided to hit molly malones and luckily? found 2 irish guys to drink with.Typical irish and the drinks just kept rolling in,beer,jamieson,baileys and sambuca.Later all this drink decided to find its way back up my stomach and into the urinal.Not a good way to start new year and even worse when outside i leave with a local female,to the guys encouragement,and find out at my guest house its a ladyboy.He/she was quickly removed from my room and i crashed out on my bed.the demon drink!!!!
