Week 12

Where We Went: Siem Reap + Koy Samui

Craziest Thing We Did: Get picked up from the airport in a tuk tuk.  It actually didn’t seem that crazy to us, but I guess that’s what 8 weeks in Asia will do to you.​

Best Thing We Did: Exploring the temples of Angkor Wat and beyond.  

​Tastiest
 Thing We Did: Coconut and Taro ice cream in the heat of the day at the temples.

Dumbest Thing We Did: Get an airport taxi on Koi Samui.  Took an hour and got us to our hotel after dark.  Should have walked another 100 feet and found the public taxi stand.  #Learning

​Coolest thing we Learned: Sombai is their local, flavored rice wine and the word sombai translates to “more rice, please!”  We went on a “tour” which was a cocktail making class and made delicious cocktails using sombai as the liquor.

Biggest Surprise: They use the US Dollar in Cambodia.

​Mystery Solved: 
As we’ve been reading about this area, there are many articles saying there is a huge underground city that spans out from Angkor Wat.  Mystery unsolved in this case!
Other Updates:
  • Today on our tuk tuk tour around Siem Reap we saw ducks, water buffalo, cats, goats, rooster, pigs, cows, dogs, lots of monkeys (one with a tiny baby!) and tons of different types of butterflies.
  • Somehow Chelsea got food poisoning which came with a side of 36 hours in bed.  Then Adam got food poisoning a couple days later.  Really?
  • We hardly ever know what day of the week it is, and can barely even guess anymore.
