So here we are in Cambodia. Saw the trio of famous ancient temples today - those of Angkor Wat, Prasat Bayon and Ta Phrom (the one off Tomb raider). Was pretty spectacular, particularly Angkor Wat - the worlds largest religous building that covers 1500 metres square. Pretty epic. Started to lash down with rain (as it has most evenings so far) at the last one. Theres fifteen of us in the tour group and its a friendly bunch - mostly Brits. Went out in Siem Reap last night and had a fish foot massage which was pretty weird. It took 8 hours of bus travel to get here yesterday. Border town of Poipet was very rough and the marked contrast between here and Thailand was clear to see, particularly in rural areas. People seem very friendly but you are moithered constantly by street kids trying to sell you stuff. Khmer food is very nice. I might try some of the local delicacies sometime ( I wont mention what they are on here!).
Off to Phnom Penh tomorrow which Im sure will be a lot different still.
Bye for now
