Locals Market!! Another day in Siem Reap and today I am off to find the local market - which no one seems to know about. I started the day with my fried eggs and baguette, sent a few emails then headed into the city. This time I was armed with a map and directions to the market so I couldn't go wrong. After a 45 minute walk I arrived and was rather disappointed; it was only a little bigger then the central market, it wasn't very busy and prices were not so cheap....

I did a quick workout, packed a bag and headed to the city to explore and get some info about tours. ...

Van ride from hell!! Today I was up early again and still having trouble adjusting to the time difference. I went for a walk to get an early breakfast before my minivan trip to Siem Reap. I found a nice old lady who sold me an omelette with salad for less then a dollar and after not having any solid protein for a while this was a nice treat. At 8am a tuktuk came and got me and took me to van companies office. I had booked a seat in the back but upon boarding was ...
