Cambodia Day 1

8.2.12
We are headed to Siam Reap, Cambodia for our last vacation!!
look how little the plane is!!

We had to take a bus from the terminal to get to the little prop plane...

John was a little too close for comfort to the guy leaning back in front of him!!




very small airport in Siam Reap

Angkor Pearl hotel only $34 a night!



The tuk-tuks here are so cute!!

even a batman one...

It was sprinkling when we arrived so we decided to go see the handicraft place called Artisans Angkor.
Hand painting on silk

Most of the people working here are hearing impaired.



chiseling elephants out of different types of stone


They carved all these Buddha heads!  Really cool to watch them work!



Then shopping and dinner at Central Market and Old Market!


Angkor beer... not too shabby.

dumplings (weird) and spring rolls

cashew chicken of course

Amok chicken (Cambodia signature dish similar to curry)


Pub Street (a mini 6th street type place...kinda)


stop #1


Then Angkor What? bar where we met some nice friends from Australia thanks to 
Alannah who started chatting with us!  Australians are so nice I have quickly learned!!
