Siem Reap Day 2

We visited 3 different temples today, Angkor Thom, Ta Prom, and East Mebon. The pics don't really do it justice, but it was pretty awesome.

Tonight for dinner we went to the Siem Reap chapter of the FCC. Stef had an Italian style pizza and I had the Pho Ca, which was pretty tasty, but not nearly as good as the Pho I had at the Phnom Penh FCC (which might be my current request for a last meal). They had some live music, I think they were Americans, playing acoustic style rock. They were playing Radiohead when walked up, but also managed to cover Hey Ya, Rehab, a Lady Gaga medley, and my favorite, a medley of Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls > Stand By Me > the Police's Every Breath You Take. Really great stuff to listen to vs. the over played dance hits from 2 years ago blasting last night or the Backstreet CD we heard a few times through on Wednesday. Plus the place was packed! After literally being the only 2 customers in restaurants the past 2 nights, it was nice to be in a crowd. We couldn't stay too late, as we have an early morning on the agenda for tomorrow. I wrung out my shirt (figuratively, but I literally sweated through it) and we walked back to the hotel. Siem Reap is a lot easier walk in than the bustling streets of Phnom Penh, little bit more of a small town feel for sure.

We're scheduled to meet our tuk-tuk driver at 5 to catch sunrise at Angkor Wat. Wish us luck with the early morning!

  1. Good luck with the early morning! I don't have a grasp on the time difference so I'm not sure whether this is now a moot point.
