Siem Reap

We are now in Siem Reap the town near the archaeological ruins of Angkor Wat. It took us a fourteen hour bus ride to get here which we were told would only last eleven. Our hotel was supposed to pick us up but there was no one to meet us so we made friends with a tuk-tuk driver named Lucky and he took us to where we needed to be. He is also going to act as our tour guide today and tomorrow.

Yesterday morning when we arrived at the hostel where our bus was leaving from we were greeted by quite the sight. There was a group of drunken Irishmen, one of whom was wearing nothing but a pillow. Considering it was 7 a.m. it was unexpected. There was much hilarity as he danced around trying to get dressed. We politely averted our gaze as he dressed himself. When he approached us he had his shirt on inside out and backwards. He asked the woman at the desk to help him adjust his shirt and she chased him with scissors. Hilarity.

In other news: computers hate me.
