Check 2 of the new 7 wonders off my todo list. Angkor is awesome. I've been riding around on a moto-taxi for about $10 for a full 12 hour day of driving 30+ kilometers. Perhaps slightly on the more expensive side since I'm not in a covered tuk tuk, but whatever it's too cool here. Angkor Wat is what everyone has seen in pictures and it's breathtaking and serene. The sheer number of temples in this 15 mile radius is incredible.
I finally hit up an internet cafe in Siem Reap, the town adjacent to the ruins, I'm trying to get photo's on Flikr, but the connection is a bit slow. The last two nights I've enjoyed drinking/dining along Siem reaps, short "Bar St." "Angkor What?" fast became my favorite hangout. Pub atmosphere that serves burgers in addition to $3 pitchers of beer and $1.50 house cocktails! The place is owned by a young indian guy frin Mumbai, who's girlfriend is a british expat and the bartender as well! She was telling me she's been in Cambodia for 2 years ever since a world-trip that started in India over 3 years ago. Pretty nuts!
I really don't want to say much about the temples until photos go up. They're worth perhaps 10,000 words in Angkor's case...
