Day 3 Siem Reep

Early rise this morning so that we would be ready for our seven hour journey to the Cambodia boarder.



We crossed the boarder by foot and it was like stepping in to another world. There was an obvious divide of wealth.



In the evening we went by tuk tuk to a local village where a family gave us a tour and cooked a traditional Khmer meal for us. We tried rice wine, Cambodia beer, chicken amok, chicken with ginger, pork and noodles, vegetable and coconut curry and a water apple. All of which were delicious.



 

After dinner the local children wanted to practice their English on us. They were all very good at speaking, they explained that learning English was very important as it will help them to get a better job in the future. Many of them wanted to be teachers.
