Cambodge

As we are firmly entrenched in week #2 in cambodia, i thought i might write a bit about our time here. Thanks to Jin as always for keeping up her end of the blog, i've been on internet sebbatical for the past couple of weeks and have stayed generally free of computers. that is to say, free from computers besides being the recipient of Jin's newfound knowledge of the more obscure fruits of Cambodia while watching her search the net next to me while I read. Additionally, i used the net for a moment to check the schedule of the NBA finals, and of course to keep up to date on Phish setlists of Summer Tour 2010.
We are now in Siam Reap, in roughly the center of Cambodia. We have finished our 3 day marathon tour of the Angkor sites. Tomorrow, tuesday morning, we are catching a bus to Battambang, a little SW of here. Battambang is the third largest city in Cambodia, behind Phnom Penh, and Siam Reap.
There isn't too much to do in Battambang of note, but our travels in Cambodia have been slim, and we figured we better see a bit more of something before we head to the neverending helpings of curries, pad thais and beaches that is thailand. There should be some less touristy scenes, more normal sort of life going on there, with a touch of bamboo trains, and colonial architecture.
