Monday March 21st 2011-Arrival in Siem Reap

After the market we took a quick flight to Siem Reap where we only had time for dinner that night.  Dinner was at a show where we watched a traditional Cambodian story of love being told.  It was mediocre as was dinner.
The hotel once again was beautiful but unfortunately my roommate wanted to stay in my room this time…I guess I can live with that.
After dinner we took a few rickshaws to a bar district called Pub Street.  Sarah Larocca was telling me how she read about a bar called Ankor What? A play on the temple name Ankor Wat in Siem Reap.  Right as she was telling me all she wanted was a t-shirt from that bar, we looked to our right and saw it.  We had no idea it was down there…pretty weird.
Went inside and got free t-shirts, met an Australian guy who stayed on Hertel Ave. in Buffalo all summer and wrote out a note from SAS 2011 on the wall of the restaurant.  Afterwards we all had a few drinks in us and decided to get fish pedicures.  It was so hard to keep your feet in this tank of a few hundred little fish.  It tickled so much that it was hard to keep them in over 10 seconds.  At first I hated it but eventually got used to it.  It was really funny to watch about 15 of us around the tank all yelling at how weird it felt on our feet.  If you ever get the opportunity to do it you must because it is such a funny experience with those fish nipping the dead skin off of your feet.  The whole experience lasted about 20 minutes and cost me $3 with a free beer. Not a bad deal.  Once again, even the bars sold pitchers of beer for $2…Cambodia…cheapest place ever.  I had a delicious noodle meal alone at a restaurant before returning the hotel where I did not go to sleep.  I skyped my parents and Kelsey all night until about 5am when people started to come downstairs to go to the sunrise at Ankor Wat.
