We flew on our private jet to Siem Reap for a few days (as you do). Spent some time browsing the streets, and swimming in the pool.
Our tuk tuk driver, Mr. Bong.
Breakfast by our new best friend, the pool.
We thought the food in Georgetown was going to be the bees knees, but we like Cambodian food more! This is amok, the national dish.
Khmer Curry is delicious!
This is green mango salad. Very good and similar to Thai green papaya salad. Just not as spicy!
And the beer for $1 is refreshing too.
The soil here is this color.
Two ladies fishing in the Siem Reap river.
Kirsty, the tough negotiator at work. Sweet cheeks here wouldn't come down in price, so we moved on.
All the prices here require haggling. One can't walk three feet down the street without getting offers for tuk tuk, or clothing. You could walk by 20 tuk tuk drivers in a line, and when you got to the last one, after being asked by most of them in the line, he would ask, "Sir, tuk tuk?"
Kirsty found these trousers a street over for a respectable price. Bought two pair. Everyone was happy. See below for where those turquoise nails came from.
Foot massage, pedicure, foot scrub, and painted nails (4 coats) for $9. I waited patiently for an hour because we are on our honeymoon, and I didn't need my nails painted.
No helmets here either. The drivers here are very fluid in their movements, rarely stopping, and frequently on either side of the road. No one crashes and it is almost zen-like, with very little horn use (unlike the Malaysians). If you are walking across the street, you can usually just go, and the traffic will flow around you. Intersections are a hoot to watch as the traffic flows like a liquid.
This is Pub Street, where the action is.
"Okay, we need to trace this line from, uh, here to, ummm. Hmm"
This wire mess is very common here.
Is there a Cambodian OSHA?
The gecko in our room is chirping for me to turn off the light, so this is goodnight!
Peace my friends!
