Cambodia Update - International gawking at its best
We made it to Cambodia, and our hotel has just about made up for the jungle resorts, what with its fluffy towels, swimming pool, and staff falling all over themselves to serve. Our guide seemed competent, although we're getting another tomorrow. The tour had us at 2 ruins today, one where the trees are overgrowing the ruins, the other on top of a hill to watch the sunset over the plain, along with about 600 other tourists. It is hot and steamy, and certainly the crowds and fact that the ATM spit out US dollars makes it feel just like Las Vegas, only quite a bit hotter and with more guys trying to set us up with hookers in the street. Tomorrow the Roulus group of ruins from the 9th century, and more of Angkor Wat, the big one. And more swimming at the hotel to be sure.
