Siem Reap reminds me of the commercial, Civic-nation. Basically all the cars in town are all nicely supped up Honda Civic. It was a cool marketing when you are a car nut.

Siem Reap is run by Toyota? 99% of the cars are Toyota, while at least 80% of that are Camry. Sometimes I wonder if I am in Japan? With the exception the currency in use is US dollar. I’m actually surprised to see the US 2 dollar bill here.

Well, today started a bit later than I wanted. Got up a little bit late, as last night I was trapped with a mosquito behind the mosquito net. I think I fed it so well it stop bothering me.

Started the day around 12 pm. Had to get a few things on the list done before visiting Angkor Wat.

1st thing on the list, get a sim card. Somehow getting connected is on the priority list. Think I might have got rip off. Did some research prior while in Bangkok. The sim card should cost $2 and $5 for 2 gig of 3G Internet for the month. The guy insisted tourist’s sim card is 5 bucks. Well, at most he is overcharging me $3 for the great service.

Food here is a bit on the pricy side compare to Bangkok. Possible this town is supported by the tourist industry for Angkor Wat. $3 for this simple fried chicken veggie with rice near the guesthouse.

2nd thing, get a rental bike. There are a few choices to tour around town and the Angkor Wat ruins. Hire a private tuk tuk for $15, hire a car for possibly double that, or rent a bicycle for $2/day. From what I heard, bike might be the best way around, as the ruins isn’t too far from each other.

This town is small enough to be self reliant on bicycle.

After getting all those done, I didn’t head out to Angkor Wat until 5 pm. As I heard of purchasing ticket after 5 pm, the ticket validity starts the next day, while you can still enjoy early access for the sunset today. Perfect when I was planning to buy a 3 days pass anyways.  So i’ll get to catch 4 sunsets… Hopefully will find the most beautiful one.
