wat?

ankor wat.  amazing.  out of nowhere, this ancient, unbelievably big, unbelievably beautiful city.  but whatevs.  if you’re really interested in that, go look it up.  it was way more impressive than i thought it was going to be — that’s for sure.

 things i learned today:

1.)  anh is more photogenic than me.  we’ve been holding back with the picture taking, but in the tourist haven of the ancient temples, we felt no shame.   

2.  british people have amazing accents.  reeealleee?

3.  somebody must have misspelled the name of the ancient city years ago.   i think it was originally ankor hot.  33 degrees celcius.  that’s like…  130 fahrenheit?  this i discovered after our taxi driver and us got our pick-up spot mixed up.  i got to walk about a mile back in the direction we had just come from.  anh had no problem sitting in a cafe and sipping some coconut juice whilst i did the trekking.  love that word.  whilst.  maybe because it’s got my name in it.  reeeealleeee?

4.  even if you’re in a third world country, food at tourist spots is still marked up about 600 percent.

5.  certain taxi drivers in siem reap, possibly with the name of raya, have karaoke systems built into their taxi-vans. 

and that’s all.  raya is waiting outside the ice cream cafe where they make lilikoi ice cream that really (reeeaalleeee?) tastes like lilikoi.
