What? Ankor wat?

So, although I'm in bankok right now, I'm going to post about my whirlwind  in Siem reap, Cambodia. Sorry for slacking off. Even though I'm traveling, I'm still a big jerk. The worst part is that I can't post pics for some reason, so the awesome stuff I saw will have to be posted another day.

So we began with a night bus to siem reap from phnom penh. I seem to function off very little sleep, so while everyone else was napping I went for a run for the first time in weeks (I'm a slacker jerk). A short half hr run turned into an hour run when I couldn't find my way back to the Garden Village hostel we were staying at. I had to pay a dollar to hop a motorbike ride back, but no biggie. After this, I showered. Matt and I decided to just wander the city while marla went to a cooking class. Wandering was fun. We ended up at one point in this local bar type place where there were rows of lawn chairs set up watching four tvs. Everyone drinking coffee or tea or beer. So as it was the most crowded place we had seen, only locals, we sat down for a bit and enjoyed some coffee while attempting to talk to people. We then wandered around some more and somehow ended up wandering these dirt paths and eventually stumbled upon a horse ranch where we talked to the owner for a while. Good times.

The next day we woke up at 423am to go to Ankor Wat to watch the sunrise. A Wat is a temple. And ankor wat is the largest, considerd the 8th wonder of the world. Remember when I said that the hour long run was no big deal? Well I lied. However many miles I ran, was quite tiring for my legs. So walking around a series of temples from 5am til about 5pm was pretty painful and tiring but quite worth it. Ankor wat was crazy awesome, and the other temples in the area were quite impressive too (pics to be posted at later date). But probably the best part of my day was running into a monkey!!! Actually it was a momma monkey and a baby. I've never seen one up close in the wild. So I did what I'm sure everyone would expect me to do. I bought a bunch of bananas and shared! Haha monkeys are funny.

After such a long day of touring, we relaxed a bit and then grabbed some dinner. After dinner matt and I went and got an hour long massage for a wopping $4 each. No worries though mom, no happy ending for the J man. Just a good ol fashion thank you and good night. Matt and I then awaited our 130am night bus to bangkok. It was mostly uneventful. Well, not completely true. While waiting for the bus there were a group of british guys with one short american dude. They were so drunk and high on valium. One even started flagging down tuktuks to get some marijuana. Now, over here, this stuff is offered constantly by everyone on the street. But this stupid guy was yelling in the street that he was trying to buy some. It made matt and I pretty uncomfortable, but luckily the bus came soon so we didn't have to deal with these Bro's for long.

okay, off to enjoy a bit of uber tourist bangkok. Ill try to get pics uploaded tomorrow. But I'm excited to be heading to Phuket on Monday to begin my muay thaui training(and mom, I know what you're thinking, its pronounced "poo-ket", not "fuck-it". You're so immature)
