After eating breakfast this morning, we checked out of our
hotel in Phnom Penh that we had stayed in for 4 days and started out on a long 6-hour
bus ride to Siem Reap. Due to the incredibly long duration of our journey, we decided
to stop twice on the way.
About an hour and a half into the trip we stopped to eat crickets and spiders. A number of people in our group were terribly afraid of eating these creatures (mainly the girls who were screaming) however, once they tried eating the spiders and crickets, most of them found them to be extremely delicious.
It was a great experience for most of us as we had never eaten crickets or spiders before. The second stop in our journey was at a pleasant looking restaurant where we stayed for about an hour to eat lunch. We finally reached Siem Reap at around 5 p.m. in the evening and decided to rest in our new hotel for a short period of time. At 7:30 p.m., we rented Tuk-Tuks from our hotel and went to “Pub Street” which is a famous food street here in Siem Reap. We split up into 4 groups and each of the groups decided to eat at a certain restaurant in the Pub Street area. As has been the case for most part of the trip, the food was extremely tasty and everybody was satisfied.

Early tomorrow morning we will be going to the
Angkor Wat National Museum which promises to be a really exciting experience, so
we are definitely looking forward to it.
After that, it’s on to the temples of Angkor Wat. You can learn all the details of our visit to Angkor Wat in our next
blog post.
