Show and Tell

Time to show pictures. Most of these come from the weekend of October 7th. Pictures from past that will be up at some point. Ok enjoy.


First night out in Phnom Penh. This is a fish massage (or pedicure, can't remember). The fish eat the dead skin off your feet. It tickles. A lot.

Still first night out. At Howie Bar. Awesome place. The little (well average by Cambodian standards) guy in the middle is Pithol, one of our drivers, who we convinced to come out with us. He sucked at pool. So we put money on a game against him. He then proceeded to completely destroy us one after another. Hustling 101. Jerk.

View from our hotel. As you can see, there is some serious poverty. Below is a tuk tuk, our most common form of transportation. Really fun, but sometimes nerve-wracking. Especially when you are dodging traffic or driving in the wrong lane of a busy road.

On the way to Siem Reap. There was some serious flooding, and at times even the road was under water. Oh and we saw water buffalo. I don't have pictures. Sorry.

Our group at temple no.1 (forgot the name). This one had a lot of Buddha faces, some smiling and some frowning. The second picture is me in deep thought at that same temple. We saw 4 temples in all, including the Tomb Raider Temple (where they filmed Tomb Raider) and Angkor Wat.

First picture is the Tomb Raider Temple (Yes, they really did film Tomb Raider there). Very cool tree. No statue of Angelina Jolie though. The picture below is of the Baphuon temple, which was never completed. Because of this, there were no restrictions regarding access, so we got to climb into the ruins Indiana Jones style. It was a lot of fun exploring all the nooks and crannies of this ancient structure.

Angkor Wat. One of the ancient wonders of the world (name the others?) and just ridiculous, in both size and beauty. The picture with the reflecting pool is really cool and just like all the postcards. Too bad about the scaffolding.

Crocodile dinner that night. One of those crocodile was fated to be our dinner. The second picture is of the bill (in case you don't believe me), and the third is of the prepared crocodile meat. They wouldn't let me wear the crocodile head as a helmet. No idea why.

Finally, eating Tarantula. Shit why not? Apparently you're not supposed to eat the butt. The rest tasted fine though, really not that bad.

That's all for now. Yeah yeah still too long. They're just pictures it's not like you have to read. Until next time. Hopefully I'll have pictures up from Sihanoukville. Also, in case you're wondering, I don't go to China for another two weeks. C u later. Go Caps.
