I landed in Bangkok last week and spent a couple of days flexing my drinking muscles before heading to over to Cambodia. I've spent the last couple of days in Cambodia in Siem Reap which is famous for the Ankor Temples (8th wonder of the world according to LonelyPlanet).

My 1st night in Cambodia was quite frankly ridiculous. I got there at about 7pm after a very long day and border crossing. I really wanted to go straight to sleep but I couldn't because I'd run out of water and so had to go out at least to get that. I'm not sure really what I expected from Cambodia but it wasn't what I got. Siem Reap is Uber cool. So cool that on my first night I decided it would be 'very london' of me to eat overpriced cupcakes for dinner.

Dinner

After my cupcakes I thought I might as well go and have A drink so found myself a pub/bar called 'Ankor What?!' sat at the bar and ordered a pint ($0.50). 5 pints later I end up in a gay bar being set up with an overweight Cambodian lesbian who complemented me on having a body shape similar to her own. Cringe. After a couple of swift G&Ts me and my new bessies Josh and Grant went to a nightclub and danced our little feet off to the likes of Britney and Lady Gaga. Josh and I occasionally lost Grant in the crowd but after a brief search would find him playing tonsil tennis with a very keen Cambodian lad.

Having a gay old time.

Auggghhhh its Lady Gaga

The rest of the week has been spent hanging out with a girl named Hattie. I got up at 5am one morning to try and catch sunrise over Ankor. I hadn't arranged any transport and decided to try my luck at bumping into some people to share a tuk tuk with. I didn't have to go far, I found Hattie, Babsi and Leo at the gates trying to work out how to open it and jumped in their tuk tuk.

Sunset would have been AMAZING had it not been Chinese new year. The whole of the population of China (all 1.3 billion) had decided to visit Ankor for sunrise that morning. It was still pretty spectacular though...

We spent the rest of the day visiting temples and eating pineapple.
