Woke up at Angkor Thom guest house and jumped on Michael till he woke up as we needed to check out before 11!
Took a tuktuk (wow) to the accommodation the waitress recommended last night and paid him in baht! Wound for him!
It was called Lucky Star Hotel and as soon as I saw it I knew it wouldn't be the 7 dollars she said it was! The cheapest room was 60 dollars. We ran. The receptionist recommended we go to Tom and Jerry hostel.
The rooms there was 7 dollars a night (£4.50) and were beaut! I mean we have 6 coat hangers for goodness sake! It's the Ritz I'm telling you! We also have a tv with 5 channels all cambodian but its wierd they put the same thing on every day! Like watching the same episode of eastenders every day? Weird.com
Changed money in the reception from baht to dollars, had something to eat at the restaurant and noticed they have like 8 different Fanta flavours! I tried a brown one! Never again man, tasted like medicine!
Oh forgot to mention we took our first malaria tablet (doxycycline) on the train yesterday! Was ok didn't make me feel sick this time! Took one again at lunch today! So malaria can eat my dust!!
Went for a walk to the market and ended up buying a Calvin Klein watch for 6 dollars (£3.80)! It's clearly real! ;) it's beaut though I'll upload a picture! At the watch shop there was a man there dressed as a woman, but he was really bad, its strange to see a bad trannie as they put 110% effort in here and half the time you can't tell! I must be hard for him though as he will know he looks like a man. Or maybe he is delusional.
The watch shop was Opposite a hairdressers so Michael decided to get his hair cut! His hair is beaut at the moment, really naturally curly and sun kissed. Looks like a real traveller! So he decided to get it shaved! :| it cost him 3 dollars (£1.90) to get the back and sides shaved and a trim in the top!
Walked back at 2.30 and got a tuktuk at 3 to the Angkor National Museum! Apparently you have to go to the museum before you go to the real thing! It cost 12 dollars (£7.75) to get in! I'll be crying myself to sleep tonight!
The museum was good! It was huge though! It took over 2 hours to get around the whole thing and that was only because it closed at 6 and if 'the night at a museum' film is true, this place would have outdone them all! Imagine playing cards with the elephant man! Or b****ing with the Buddha about the sleeping buddha. This is my new life aim.
The museum got a bit much though, once you have been one Ganesha, you have seen them all! I didn't have a clue about the history of Angkor Wat though so it helped me to understand, even if I was ready to commit by the 16th room! We wasn't aloud to take photos in the museum but we still did, real 007 style! Only got told off once by this girl who worked there but she was talking to her friend on the phone! Typical.
Got back to the hostel at half 5, the tuktuk each way cost 1 dollar (£0.64) for each 15 minute journey.
Ate at the hostel again, it literally takes about 45 minutes from when you order to when you get it, even though we are the only ones eating and all we want is sandwiches! Get me in that kitchen! The staff are lovely though, so adorable and cute!
Washed my hair! Hasn't been washed since being in Ko Tao, I suppose that only 4 days ago though! I don't think people will understand but it's such a hassle washing it I would rather shave it off! The shower water smells so even when you have washed it, it still smells! It looks better a bit ... Matted though! Haha
Michael asked the receptionist if she owned straighteners and she did so he borrowed them! It pays off the be nice to everyone we meet :)
Went to Wine Station Bar which was a gay bar, only to realise after we had sat down that neither of us like wine. Fabulous. Ordered to beers! Classy ;)
After that we walked to Miss Wongs on the next street! The drinks in there was so expensive so we only had one! Asked the bar guys Jay and Bony were to go after this and they said Temple Bar!
We went to Temple Bar and loved it! Cocktails are buy one get one free so we had two sex on the beaches that came to 5 dollars (£3.20) can't go wrong! Yet again its cheaper to drink alcohol that soft drinks! Go figure. The night was a crazy one and we met some amazing people! I don't think I stopped laughing all night. Well maybe once when I tripped over! Got in at 4 as we are supposed to be doing Angkor Wat tomorrow.
