(Angkor) Wat An Interesting Place

Two days in Siem Reap, Cambodia was just enough time to get a basic sense of what this place is all about -- beautiful temples and a city built for tourists. We were told that you could spend a week looking at temples, and you still wouldn't have covered all of them. So in our limited time, we focused on the ones that are supposedly the most important. Here is a picture of the two of us at Angkor Wat, the most famous of the temples in Cambodia. It was built in the 12th century as a Hindu temple.

It quickly became clear to us that the town of Siem Reap caters almost exclusively to tourists, with the city center packed with restaurants of all ethnicities, internet cafes, a night market (a definite theme during the SE Asia portion of our trip), souvenier shops, and of course, sports bars showing English Premier League football. Here is a picture of Pallavi at a cafe...the sign behind her should give you an idea of how inexpensive things are in Cambodia.
Finally, here's a picture of some kid at the night market getting a foot massage courtesy of tons of little fish nibbling at his feet......the name of this stall was 'Dr. Fish'. Strong.
