Yesterday Ashley and I flew from Bangkok to Siem Reap, Cambodia. We arrived at our hostel called Mad Monkey and checked in. We found out that there was a black light party on the roof top sand bar!
We walked to get dinner and stumbled upon an awesome place called Pub Street.
Ashley asked a local to recommend a place to eat. She recommended a place called Khmer Family Restaurant.
We loved it! We couldn't get over that draft beers were 50 cents. When the guy sitting next to us heard me say that- he started talking to us. He knew it must be our first day if we were surprised by the beer prices! It turns out that he was from New Zealand. We also met an adorable, sassy, sweet local named Linda who sold us Cambodia bracelets.
Later that night we headed to the black light party.
The roof top sand bar is an awesome spot~
After the party, we headed back to Pub Street to drink and dance. We met up with our new friends from New Zealand and stayed out basically until the sunrise. At 5 am, we were picked up by a tuk tuk and driven to see the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat, directly translated as Temple City, is one of the largest religious monuments ever constructed. We spent the day exploring these beautiful, fascinating temples. We even had a volunteer tour guide who taught us so much about the temples. He was the best!
We finished our day with dinner at the Cambodian BBQ~
Then we had half hour leg massages for $3- much needed after all the hiking that we did today!
Cambodia has offered us more than we could have ever imagined. From getting a massage for $3 and a meal for $4, to meeting the friendliest locals and exploring fascinating ancient ruins~ we have enjoyed every moment of this place.
