My second stop in Cambodia was Siem reap, which is most famous for the temples of Angkor which I was really excited to see since its apparently one of the 8 natural wonders of the world. It took seven hours on the bus and literally 5 minutes after I checked in I made friends with 3 people going out to dinner and booked to go see the sun rise at Angkor wat at 5am the next morning!

Siem reap the city itself is pretty cool. It's actually pretty small but full of atmosphere and plenty to keep you interested. In the centre is the aptly named "pub street" with the signs for it in bright neon, this is where you find the clubs and pubs with all the westerners. It's a good place to hang out, as me and some friends went there for the rugby and the Wimbledon final. It was a bit unusual but great that for some reason on one street the main food of choice was BBQ, and the kitchen was outdoors so you could watch all the food being cooked and it was delicious and with plenty of these places around you were spoilt for choice!

There was also little random stalls like pancakes which we went to on my last night and a 7 year old kid must have been in charge of the stand and started making them really fast and on the spot, spinning the base around in his hands like it was a pizza which was cool. Just little things like this make the city so cool, there was also plenty of those fish pedicure places around so you could sit outside and eat your food while listening to some poor scared girl screaming at the fish biting her dead skin much to most people's amusement.

Every night also had the night market which sold loads of souvenirs and novelty shirts and with it being low season as soon as you even glanced at something the owner would be up and trying to get you to buy something,

And One night we saw a stall that had a few local delicacies such as roasted snake on a skewer, roasted crickets, spiders and such stuff, I was actually willing to try but we had just finished our dinner so I decided against it.

I met up with Molly and Charlie who I had met way back in sapa and hoi an back in Vietnam, with the new friends I acquired we all met up and watched the lions play rugby then went above the bar to watch a traditional dance thing called apsara which was quite entertaining, before carrying on drinking where I had my first bucket of alcohol. This is literally like a massive cocktail or mixer in an actual sort of plastic bucket you would use at the beach, they sell these all the time at the full moon so I thought I'd get some practice in and it did the job.

Plenty to drink, especially happy hour with 50 cent beer, and plenty of food to keep you happy, the city was a great place but I haven't even got round to explaining the temples or the floating village.
