Greetings from Siem Reap.
Have finally managed to get the rest of my Hong Kong photos on here so check them out.
My last day in Bangkok was soooo boring. So I decided whilst walking to the Grand Palace that really I couldn't give a damm about seeing it. I was only going because that's what people do, they visit things they feel they should be visiting. I would only go to take photos and add it to my list of things I have seen.
So instead I went and had a drink down KhoaSan Road and watched the world go by. Now I really was in need of some new knickers. The ones I had left England with were now looking rather tatty and falling apart. I found a crazy Thai woman (they are all crazy here) selling underwear. I picked up some pants and asked her what sizes she had. Her reply was that they are all one size. So I asked her if she thought they would fit me. She started laughing and told me I am not fat. So I brought 3! Well I got back to the hotel to try them and bloody hell they are tiny!!! I was not impressed! I think I may have misheard the woman and she actually was laughing saying I am too fat! I was rather gutted and angry. Now I need to hunt out a shop that sells underwear for British Bottoms!
Later that day at 6pm I met up with the new tour group. They are all very lovely and I will be spending the next 2 weeks with them as they are all, apart from my room mate, only doing the Cambodia part of the trip. I am missing Team Sunny though. My roomie is called Emma and she is also from England. We get on great and she is a good laugh. So far I have been very lucky with my roomies so that's one good thing!
So we headed the next day to Siem Reap in Cambodia. This place is pretty cool and on the way we got to see a good insight to what Cambodia is like. We visited a Silk Farm and saw how they make silk. It was really interesting and made you appreciate how much work goes into making a scarf, etc. I wanted to buy something just to help make a contribution, but I was being tight on the money situation and brought a new fan for about a pound. This also defeated the object of buying something made of silk. Doh. That evening we went for a fish massage like we had in China. You put your feet in a pool of fish and they suck away at you taking all the crap out the skin. It is so funny and makes you laugh so much. The second day here we visited the temples at Angkor. These were pretty amazing. We were very excited to visit the temples where Tomb Raider was filmed. Lara Croft was there just chilling out having a beer so we have a little chat and she took my number! I was right in there I'm telling you. We're meeting up again next week so she can teach me some of her ass kicking moves!
We had got up at FOUR AM that morning so we could see the sunrise over Angkor Wat. We got there and it was pitch black, 2 hours later and it was daylight. But the place was so cloudy we didn't actually get to see any sun rise. I was pretty gutted, not to mention half asleep and wanting to go back to bed.
Last night 7 of us went to have a Happy Pizza. The clue is in the name as to what type of pizza we were having. Yes Mum, that's right, it was just a yummy pizza that makes you happy. Nothing dodgy involved at all, I promise. It tasted rather good. Didn't really make me that 'happy' though. What a disappointment. Next door was 'ecstatic pizza', maybe we should have gone there instead.
Today I went for a lush massage. They are so cheap out here. I paid under 3pounds for an hour!!! What a bargain! Luckily no cupping was involved!
Tomorrow we are leaving Siem Reap, I am hoping to be somewhere where the sun is shining. It is raining loads here and driving me crazy! Bet that's brought a smile to all your faces! Only it's still hot here, so Ha!
At the moment I look about 9 months pregnant. Ok, that's an exaggeration. I look about 8 and half. I have been constipated the last few days and am so bloated I think I am close to bursting. All I want to do is have a massive poo! Is that too much to ask? I don't want to take anything as got a long bus journey tomorrow and it will be typical I'll need to go ten minutes into the journey! Anyone got any suggestions???
Miss you all loads and loads!
