It's our last night in Siem Reap, Cambodia and tomorrow we are hopping on the bus for the Cambodian capital of Phnom Pehn. The two days here have been pretty intense. First, there was the 10 hour hurtle across Thailand to the Cambodian border, the 2 hour wait for everyone's visas to get through. Abbi and myself didn't need a visa because we're from an ASEAN country but everyone else on our bus did. Then 4-5 more hours in a car to Siem Reap.

The road in Cambodia was terrible. Completely undeveloped and just a mess. I can't believe I slept through most of that rollercoaster. We learned a bunch of stuff from that first evening we were there. One was that the currency is all fucked. They have their own money but prefer dollars which makes for some over-spending without knowing it. I've been trying to be careful about my money.

The first day, we went to the Landmine museum which is such an intense place. The backstory of that place is really interesting. Basically, this former child soldier who used to plant these mines felt so guilty about them he spends all his time uprooting them and defusing them with the aid of a Canadian NGO and he put together a museum to raise awareness. It also houses an orphanage and a school of children who have been injured in landmine explosions.

Then at night we had dinner out at a Khmer place (delicious) and we went to this place called Angkor What?! and drank, hahahaha.

Today we went to the real Angkor Wat and it was just amazing to behold. The compound is massive and the area is inspiring. We walked through most of it, through Angkor Wat, Bayon, and NEARLY made it to Ta Phrom, which was were Tomb Raider was filmed but it was really far and we were so tired because we wanted to save money so we rented bikes.

Let me tell you, the bike thing was hilarious, terrifying and challenging. I'm scared of oncoming traffic, despite being a pretty good biker but I mean, it was like choosing between saving a few bucks and possible death. I figured, if I lived through this, I can say I biked through Angkor Wat....

AND I DID!!! I LIIIIIVED!!! I seriously thought I was going to die a few times though.
