Homemade Ice Rink Cost
Temple Marathon ...
After an incredible night bus ride with a broken bus, a driver with "lead foot" has broken down and waiting for the replacement bus we arrived 3.5 hours late in Siem Reap. Here waiting for us, fortunately a nice hotel where we were able to recover in a short time.
Siem Reap, famous for its temples - the most famous Ankor Wat - has to offer as the Cambodian tourist center lot. We have the temple, but also the good restaurants, pubs and enjoyed the massages.
The temple ruins date from the 8th to 12 Century, served as the builders of temples, royal palaces, universities and libraries. Are you with beautiful reliefs, spiritual and faces of Buddha and are decorated in a large park with beautiful old trees and water plants, which in some places, Buddhist or Hindu notions of the sky symbolize.
We started with a visit motivated and have two days each with 4 temples explored and climbed. After watching the most important thing left us on the third day, the desire for more culture.
We decided instead to join a cooking class for Cambodian food. We got together with a couple from Taiwan spring rolls, a special curry and the Cambodian national dish Amouk "to prepare.
Guided by a very nice cook the evening was lovely and intense learning. Was included among other things, a passage of the local market with a lesson in Asian goods customer. Toll, of which we will benefit a long time.
morning it goes on ...

leave Cambodia
arrived in Kep, we wanted to show us a tuk tuk driver a range of accommodation to us for the to decide best. The very first home was a beautiful bungalow, in a neat, peaceful garden with nice landlords. Thus, we booked us there for a four nights. Kep is a quiet coastal town with no beach and is for this reason, until now untouched by tourism. We went for a walk, a pepper plantation have visited, seafood and BBQ for the first time grilled cancer eaten. Adventurous!
From Sihanoukville we went with a dive boat to the island of Koh Rong, because we wanted to dive again.
The dive was disappointing because the visibility was extremely bad, and everything seemed brown. A few fish, no beautiful coral and dive school was disorganized and poorly equipped. Thus, we saved ourselves the second dive and got instead a beautiful afternoon at the picturesque and deserted beach, because we stayed there. The natural island is home to 500 residents, three resorts, each with three to ten cabins and a forest. A simple wooden hut in the jungle, a lounchiges restaurant, every two hours swimming in the sea and a beautiful sunset on the way back, all we needed for the better.
The Christmas day we spend here in Sihanoukville. There is enough going on - almost too much. We found at the end of the beach but a nice place. A small Wooden bungalow, built on a hillside with beautiful views of the sea.
Our plan provides for two weeks for Cambodia, in the last four days we will visit the temples of Angkor Wat. Otherwise, only the beach and relaxing is called for. Juhuuuu .... Christmas on the beach and New Year in Bangkok and not as in previous years, working in the hospital.
