Templing and being hustled by 4 year olds

Hired a driver and car for the day to go templing as decided I needed air conditioning in 37 degree heat. Having a driver suits me just fine. The temples around Sien Reap are absolutely amazing. Gave up taking photos in the end as impossible to do them justice and capture the sheer scale and beauty. There is also a tree which apparently featured in the movie Tomb Raider. Not being familar with the adventures of this large titted lady the significance of this was somewhat lost on me. Got the outfit completely wrong. Short dress and lots of steep stairs resulting in the tourists at Ankor Wat seeing far more of my ass than anyone really needs to. Unless you have a really nice bum I would strongly recommend shorts. I ended up having to buy a berry harem pant jumpsuit, partly due to the flashing and partly due to the fact that like Uncle Ho, Buddha is not a massive fan of ass/shoulders/ legs and I didn't want a repeat of the loud hailer whore incident. Potentially the most unflattering purchase of all time - looked like a cherry blimp and then it kept billowing in the wind which only added to the effect. There were lots of little kids selling stuff around the temples. I got followed for ages and they wouldn't  leave me alone so decided to buy stuff. This was not a good idea as they just swarmed me and it is really hard to say no to cute hungry looking four year olds selling bracelets and fridge magnets. Ended up with quite the selection of magnets, bracelets and postcards. I did wonder if anyone would notice if I just popped one in my car. A child who can help with expenses is not an enitrely flawed concept - cuts down on all that day care shiz. She could sell bracelets on P Road while I had a flat white. Needless to say looked tre ridiculous templing in my jumpsuit and arms full of friendship bracelets.

More from Siem Reap

Offering to Buddha including a can of Sprite and some two minute noodles.

Excellent Cambodian beer for $1.50.

Amok - also excellent.

Dr Fish

Had one of those pedicures where the fish eat the dead skin off your feet. Not very relaxing, in fact kind of terrifying. Spent the whole time thinking they were getting carried away and actually starting on flesh. They did eat all the remnants of the spray tan so hope they dont die or go a weird orange colour. Spent three hours in the spa being basted like a well prepared roast which was bliss apart from some weird bum massaging. There were a few moments there where I thought that perhaps the full harmony room experience came with a happy ending but thankfully turned out to be unfounded.

Markets in Siem Reap

Pretty but the smell of semi off fish and meat makes you dry retch.

A deviation on the lemon detox theme

Sea shells cooked by roasting them in the hot sun. Delicious apparently and somewhat of a delicacy if you like off seafood. Am quite tempted to indulge as a way of shedding a few kgs before I return. Somewhat more effective than living on lemon juice I imagine.

Solo voyager

Off to Cambodia to find myself. Didn't get off to a great start as plane delayed for four hours which meant I arrived in the dark. Noone was there to pick me up but got a taxi to the deceptively named Mekong Palace.
