Chillin’ in Siem Reap – November 2007

Posted by Ben Heys on November 29, 2007 with 1 Comment

After a couple days in the 3$ a night guesthouse I decided to move to a more expensive option, this one almost broke the bank @ $6 a night. For this I get a place only a couple minutes walk from the town center (as opposed to about a half hr) free bananas, bread, toast, jam, tea & coffee. So anytime I feel like a snack I can just wander down to the common area (which is always well stocked) and just fix myself one. The coffee is worth the extra $3 just by itself! Anyways back to the... Read More ››

One thing I haven’t managed to catch on film yet but have seen a couple times is the little kids leading herds of water buffalo through the streets at sunset.

Well I’m going to fast forward in time from my last post and bypass some experiences best forgotten: Bangkok with it’s theft and expense, Siem Reap almost bedridden with sickness for a week, going to Phnom Phen only to find the government is filling in the lake, it’s already substantially smaller than it was the year before. But anyways, onward to good things: Sihanoukville I arrived Monday afternoon after only a few hrs in a relatively comfortable bus from Phnom Penh. I’d only been about 4 hrs including the rest & ‘get made to feel guilty by kids selling fruit’ stop... Read More ››
