Today is the last day of my Angkor pass. I took the same single speed bicycle from yesterday. Used an ATM and then stopped at a hotel for a breakfast buffet (No, I didn’t sneak in; I paid). I rode my bike and returned to Angkor Wat to look around some more. Then I climbed …

Day 229 – Siem Reap & Angkor, Cambodia
I must have woke up a little too late today because someone else already rented my favorite bike for the day and I was stuck with a single speed bike with a hard seat. I tried to make the best out of the day and bought some water and some bread. Yesterday I bought bread …
Day 228 – Siem Reap, Cambodia
This morning I hired a Tuk-Tuk to take me to the so called Roluos group of ruins. First was Preah Ko, then Bakong, and then Lolei. I was considering also going to some far away temples, but the driver was upping the price to about $30 to do all of that. I decided I’d go …
Day 227 – Siem Reap & Angkor, Cambodia
I started off the day with a $5 all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at a nearby hotel. Even though it was going to be a hot day, I decided to rent a bike and ride it around the area again. My first stop was the east gate of Angkor Wat, then Prasat Kravan, then Bat Chum, then …
Day 226 – Siem Reap, Cambodia
I decided to take a break today from all the stone ruins, six year old girls selling postcards and the sun. I think it is going to be too hot out most of the day since there are no clouds today. I also have a little sore throat, so I hope that doesn’t get worse. …
Day 225 – Siem Reap & Angkor, Cambodia
Today I made an agreement with the Chinese woman to share a Tuk-tuk to visit more of the area. After waking up by 6:30AM, we left at 6:50AM. The first stop was Preah Khan. This stone temple was inside a more forested area, which made it more interesting I think. There were piles of stones …
Day 224 – Siem Reap & Angkor, Cambodia
Other than the sounds of howling dogs last night, I was woke up at 5AM by music from loud speakers surrounding the Mosque next door. Now it wasn’t just a short little thing, but the hotel manager said this will last for 2 days straight. Good thing I found another place to stay yesterday and …
Day 223 – Cambodia
I found a $10 bill in my money belt, so I had a little more money to start the day. I checked out by leaving the key on the counter and decided I would try leaving the city to Siem Reap, Cambodia. I found an ATM machine in the morning, but for some reason it …
Day 219-222 – Thailand
It was pretty exciting time at the school since the name and branding of the school changed over the weekend. The old name was Fun English and the new name is English “iLike.” In addition, Mathnasium was added to the school to teach Math to kids. To make the transformation, the huge banner in front …
Day 218 – Back to Thailand
I thought it was a little strange that this guesthouse offered Internet only between 7PM and 7AM. After I used the password I “borrowed” to get into the guesthouse router, I edited the settings so I could use it during the day. It was fine for a while but then I noticed someone changed the …
