So here we are in Cambodia......and man is it hot and it's sweaty!!! So hot that it's nearly impossible to go out in the middle of the day......we've taken to retiring to our beds most afternoons for a couple of hours!! We've spent the past few days in Siem Reap in Northern Cambodia and as everyone has told us we have met the nicest people here! They are only too happy to help us especially in our guesthouse and are completely overjoyed when you give them a tip of even $1. Our guesthouse 'Bou Savvy' is really nice and the staff are great especially our Tuk Tuk driver.
Anyhoo spent the past day or so walking around the temples of Angkor Wat (Wiki it Paul!) and they are amazing....lots of temples in this one area and they are all different. This is also where parts of Tomb Raider were filmed for Angie buffs out there!
We head off to Pnom Phen in Southern Cambodia tomorrow wich is the capital and there we'll be getting a bit of Cambodian History....we're gonna visit the killing fields which is where thousands of Cambodians were excecuted in the 70's under Pol Pot dictatorship and the Khmer Rouge...

Without using wiki (I swear), wasn't Angkor Wat lost for years? Also, watched a program about the killing fields and Pol Pot maybe 3/4 weeks ago. Man that was nuts! IIRC that was an experiment in Socialism, right?
