Here we are all excited at the airport in Korea, waiting for our flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia (we had a brief stopover in Hanoi, Vietnam on the way).
Outside the pretty airport in Siem Reap - 75 and sunny!
Inside the airport (how many airport have you been to that have a disco ball?)
The Angkor Hotel - where we stayed for 3 nights
Our bags being taken to our room - the hotel was really nice and the breakfast every morning was amazing!
All freshened up and ready for our first night out in Cambodia!
There were 2 options for transportation at night - on the back of a motorbike for about $1 or in a tuk-tuk for about $2. Either way we were guaranteed a hair-raising ride, which inevitably involved driving into oncoming traffic for extended periods of time (see the photo). A tuk-tuk, by the way, if you don't remember from my Thailand trip, is a cart with seats pulled by a motorbike. It's a great way to ride!
Us in the tuk-tuk
Motorbike traffic - everyone rides a motorbike, and you usually see more than one person on them, often entire families of 4 or 5 including little babies.
Enjoying one of the best parts of traveling in Southeast asia - eating amazing curry outside!
My travel buddy and great friend Tabi (from Toronto)!
first restaurant we went to in Cambodia
one of many incredible dinners - Cambodian curry a.k.a "Amok"
Another delicacy, this one a bit less appetizing to me - cockroaches for eating!
Shopping at the night market which was full of scarfs, art, souvenirs and handmade crafts
