| Me touching BOOBIES! |
Today was our first full day in Cambodia. We started off by heading to the French quarter of Siem Reap where the markets are. As Siem Reap is more tourist orientated than the other cities we've visited in south east Asia, with over 3 million tourists a year coming to Siem Reap, as a result their markets are more westernized. However you can still see fish being beaten to death, or skinned alive by old women sitting in the middle of the market. It's hard work to walk around for more than 45 minutes or so due to the heat and humidity so we found ourselves frequently stopping at cafes for drinks. My sister and I were forced to go into countless numbers of art shops, where of course, we bought nothing.
After a couple of hours at the market, we took a tuk tuk back to the hotel and stayed by the pool for a bit, and freshened up before we headed back out, this time to Angkor Wat.

| Angkor Wat |
We arrived at Angkor Wat just before 5 as we were hoping to look around for an hour or so before seeing the sunset at 6:15. Its easy to see why Angkor Wat is one of the wonders of the world, as not only is it huge, but the detail is also incredible, a lot of this detail being on statues of nude women, which seems to be a popular theme in South Asia. It was at one time the largest city in the world, and was constructed in the 12th century. It was very cloudy so we didn't really get a chance to see the sunset.
After Angkor Wat we went to the night market and a street called 'Pub Street' where we had a Cambodian BBQ. During the meal, it began to rain, it was like a 'Day After Tomorrow' downpour. I took an empty glass from our table and held it out into the rain and it filled up to the top within a minute. Once the rain had died down, we took a tuk tuk back to the hotel and went to bed.
