Siem Reap

Got rudely awoken at 5.30am by some Cambodian cackle coming from a speaker across the road. I think it was chanting and some other community messages backed up with percussion instruments (yes a live performance was going on). That went on for about 4 hours!! Seeing as Lucy was leaving tomorrow, i decided to sort myself out also. So i decided to book transport to Vietnam. Had to leave my passport and $45 with a local travel agent and stay on one more day, while they do a fast track visa for me. Then its a 12 hour bus to Ho Chi Min City. I must say, I still have some level of naivety in me as i thought i could just pass between (especially with a UK passport) borders with no need for organised visa's and paperwork, but unfortunately Asia is not as modernised or trusting as some countries. Everything is paid for in Cambodian Riel or US Dollars. However you will get change in both and sometimes have to pay in both....bloody nightmare and getting ripped off is customary here.
