Siem Reap --> Phnom Penh
Another travel day with a 6 hour bus journey. The drivers seem to like stopping for a break at strange places, and everyone is required to get off the bus for about 20 minutes. At the stop today I saw huge platters of insect delicacies such as cockroaches, tarantulas and other large bugs. I didn't really have the stomach to try any of them, which is pretty lame, but the 'roadworks' along the way mad for an extremely bumpy ride. Any napping attempts were soon disrupted by the standard head jerk such as one experiences in 9 o'clock lectures (especially after 5am Ely days....).
Phnom Penh - so far much better than Siem Reap. For a city that was a ghost town fairly recently it is currently bustling with locals going about their daily business. It's so big and busy that my 'orientation' walk was actually extremely disorientating, and I got thoroughly lost. The highly of that rain filled trip had to be the 'Tomato Specialized Bank'.
Dinner was fairly poor, if I'd known what 'Morning Glory', 'Water Mimosa' and other unusual items were before ordering I may have had something more special and unique!
