friends,
its nice and toasty here in Siem Riep Cambodia. Tok and i went on our first day of 3 days touring the temples. i was here last year, and it is still just as amazing and marvelous. Tok is really impressed also. the three day pass is $40.00 USD. when the gate person came up, they were only talking to me. they gave tok funny looks when she produced a photo for a pass. they asked her where she is from, and she told them thailand. only after the deal was done did we realize that they thought she was cambodian - and didn't need to buy a pass. if we would have just kept quiet, it would have been 40.00 for my pass instead of 80.00 for two passes. ouch. we could have lived on 40.00 for 3 days. next time we'll know.....
but Tok is a little bit baffled that they start talking to her in khmer. she understands as much as i do. which is nuttin. i keep kidding Tok, telling her that now she knows how I feel most of the time. tee hee.
after a day in the hot sun climbing around piles of rocks, i lured us into getting a massage. from the blind massage people called "Seeing Hands" $4.00 for an hour. oh, so very very nice!
packing it in early tonight folks... heading out temple traipsing at 9:00 am. photos and more details to follow.
ONward!
Nu
