This morning was a clinic on how to go leisurely about a day and to enjoy a city. Now, I'm sitting in the Ho Chi Minh airport and after issues with my customs form (I had lost it) and not being able to remember the name of any of my hotels as required by the new customs form, I'm watching a screen full of delayed flights and wondering if I'll ever get to Cambodia. I'm a little doubtful, to be honest.

After a two-hour delay, I hopped a quick flight to Siem Reap. I payed $20 for my Cambodian visa, then emptied my wallet of money by paying $1 for a ride into town on the back of a scooter. I was dropped at a guesthouse the driver knew (friends with the staff) since I hadn't booked any accomodation for the night. The Coconut Villa Guesthouse will not make my list of recommended places to stay. hot water-less, gritty sheets, and overpriced doesn't really fit the bill. I wanted to wander and see some of the sights in Siem Reap, but only having about 25 cents in usable currency (Siem Reap has no ATMs), I was forced to watch fuzzy TV until I fell asleep.
