So just as I'm going to type up this post I realize that I didnt really take any pictures at all of the city!
I spent a week there cause everything was super cheap and i needed to save some money after all the trekking and stuff in Sen Monorom. So I will do my best to describe what I didnt take pictures of and then fill space by tell you of my next posts :)
There is one main touristy part in the big city of Siem Reap. Most of the hotels and guest houses are all centred around "Pub Street" which is a main street of pubs and restaurants surrounded by alley's full of other restaurants and massage places.
Here is a picture of one of probably the 6 nights markets that they have around Pub Street
Here is my dorm bed that cost $1 a night. on a balcony above the kitchen and just a thin mattress with a mosquito net but I guess what you pay for.
I also hung around Siem Reap so long because I wanted to be some where cool for Christmas. So we ended up having a buffet dinner at the hostel with a all tinsel christmas tree.
Then he head over to pub street to the famous "Angkor What" bar and went to a couple other places before calling it a night
on the way back me and my friend (yellow glasses) heard "Good feeling - flo rida" playing from the roof top bar and couldnt resist so we sprinted up 8 flights of stairs and danced for about another hour because they were playing really good music.
They also had a really good bubble machine which made it seem like it was snowing.
a really magical moment which I missed capturing because my camera was in my friends bag :/
for some reason we were the only ones on the dance floor along with one other girl from New Zealand.
We successfully managed to get one eastern European guy who was sitting by himself to come awkwardly sway with us while we danced and had a really great night.
Other things I did in Siem Reap you will hear about in the posts to come!
