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!

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.
