My diary
Of course, whilst in Siem Reap, I had to go and spend some time visiting the Angkor temples. After much debating with myself, I opted for awakening in time to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat...so there I was at 6am with sleep still sticking the corners of my eyes together, already sweating like a fat man at a buffet, waiting for the most beautiful sunrise of my life. It took me until about 6:20 to realise that the sun had actually now risen but due to the clouds, there was no view to be seen. Well you can imagine

Siem Reap, Cambodia
Of course, whilst in Siem Reap, I had to go and spend some time visiting the Angkor temples. After much debating with myself, I opted for awakening in time to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat...so there I was at 6am with sleep still sticking the corners of my eyes together, already sweating like a fat man at a buffet, waiting for the most beautiful sunrise of my life. It took me until about 6:20 to realise that the sun had actually now risen but due to the clouds, there was no view to be seen. Well you can imagine
just how chuffed I was that I got up at 4am to watch thousands of disappointed Chinese tourists sulking anyway. Inside the temple, I was blessed by a monk. For those of you that have not experienced this, it involves very fast Khmer mumbling and a large amount of water splashed at your face with a paintbrush. I quickly evacuated Angkor Wat after watching a couple fight with a monkey over a banana and then realising that I had a rucksack full of bananas on my back....whether it sounds like it or not, I actually had a wonderful day (which is flipping lucky considering the price of my ticket!) but the highlight of the day, or week for that matter, would still have to be finding a crunchie chocolate bar in a mini mart.
