Siem Reap street scenes (Cambodia)

Looking back at last weekend, I realise how much I enjoyed it. It's always fascinating seeing new places and comparing how people live.

Observations about Siem Reap - which is a major town (City?) in Cambodia well positioned as the gateway to the Angkor temples - is that it was chaotic; hot and buzzing with small motorbikes/mopeds. The local people were great - v. friendly and exceptionally relaxed. Bothered a bit by kids trying to sell you stuff but no where near as aggressive as I've seen elsewhere -- quite lighthearted actually.

Sad to see kids c. Billy's age foraging in road-side bins.

Check out how many people you can see on the bikes .. sometimes as many as 5 people on the same moped -- with kids <1 yr old.

I'll leave Joss to write about the history of the temples and to post temple shots up.
