So we decided instead of taking the bus to Siem Reap we will take the boat up the Mekong to Siem Reap. I was really excited about this part of the trip because we were going to see ruins Or Angkor Wat. The boat was about 60 ft long with a/c seating down below or you can sit on the roof top. After about 20 minutes or so Chris and I decide we will take it to the roof and have some cans of barley it is after all 10am. The ride was about 6 hrs to Siem Reap and it was a blue bird day and the barley pops are going down smooth. I can never sleep on my travel days I'm too hopped up and drink beers to slow me down. We arrive at the dock in Siem Reap and find a tuk tuk to the hotel.. We treated ourselves to a nice room at the Rithy Rine hotel we check in, shower and by now the sun is setting and were off to find some food and drinks.. There are 2 Swedish girls staying next door to us, perfect knock on the door and dinner dates solved..
Chris and I and our Swedish friends have dinner and the girls were going to crash out early so we all head back to the hotel. We get back to the hotel and we decide were going to check out the best nightlife Cambodia has to offer. So we get our tuk tuk driver to take us where there will be some girls and drinks and we head out. Had a few drinks at dinner so we are felling nice as we zip along the roads in Siem Reap. Now if you have never been to Cambodia you will never understand how people can drive on both sides of the road with no stop signs or lights. Simply insane. I tell the driver to get in the back and ill drive. I just wanted to drive a tuk tuk once in my life so mission accomplished.. We pull up to a place that kinda looks like a bar or a club or something to that extent. We have the door held open and once inside were the only guys in the place and there is at least 60 girls there. The finest brothel Siem Reap has to offer. We get drinks and have a seat.. Madam comes by and asks us if we like ladies.. Come on im a dude i like girls very much but this was not what the plan was but fuck it lets see whats up.. Madam claps her hands and girls line up behind her and each has a number around their necks. Shit just got real for me. As all the girls are fighting for your attention I'm just feeling worse and worse for them. This is not what i signed up for. Chris and I head out the door after we have a drink and madam sends 2 girls out to jump in our tuk tuk to leave with us.. Poor girls.
We all end up at a bar and have a drink and Chris is being an ass asking them "So what do you do for work?" I really don't think they even speak English so its right over their heads and they just chuckle. Now the whole time when im not looking Chris is dropping Valium in my beers.. Its on son!! next thing I know is I woke up in the am hung the fuck over from booze and Valium. Looking around for any sighn of those girls being back at our hotel room. Money check Passport check Apple products and camera its all there. Chris WTF happened last night? "Bro you were out of you mind last night driving the tuk tuk back from the bar. Gee you think?? I ask him what happened to the girls. He sais he sung a song called your not coming back to the hotel and sent them on their way. I am dying and we are heading to the ruins of Ankor Wat..
Angkor Wat and im Dying
Angkor Wat is the largest Hindu temple complex and the largest religious monument in the world. The temple was built by a king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (Khmer:, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu..(wiki). This place is really breath taking .Its a huge complex with many temples to see.. I can only imagine being a native coming through the jungle only to find this massive complex with all the stone carving and the arched roofs made of stone. Its crazy that this place is over 1000 yrs old and the technoligy is so far advanced its mind blowing.. With my hangover in full effect and enough Valium in my system im in reverse for most of the day. It was about 100 degrees out and i could not drink enough water.. For fucks sake more steps. We stop at Wat after Wat and im munching on all sorts of fruit and bottles of water and im starting to feel better by 4pm. We are all templed out and we head back to the hotel. On the way we stop at a market and Chris comes out with a 4 pack of Guinniess cans. Perfect!! and lets begin.

We get back to the hotel shower up and were going to take it easy tonight .. Yeah right!! We head into Siem Reap city center and we cruise right along stopping along the way to have some barley pops. As we are walking along the road scooters and tuk tuks and trucks flying by this scooter passes and the guy sitting on the back just falls off like a rag doll and tumbles along the road for like 50 ft.. Chris looks at me like WTF!! I think dude just had a heart attack and came off the back. People begin to gather and we sat there and watched to see if the guy starts moving but hes not. They slide him to the side of the road and the traffic starts to buzz again. Not sure if the guy died but there is nothing we can do. Were off to to the night market for some grub and a few wobbly pops. we decide to just end it early because we have a 24 hr bus ride to Lao in the am.. were home by 1 am . Still thinking about that poor guy who fell off the scooter. Thats life..
