Cambodia

I decided on my last week of vacation to travel to Siam Rep, Cambodia. I figured since I was in the area, it would make sense for me to take advantage to travel to another country. I originally thought Bali, but the flight was too long and I wouldn't have enough time to enjoy Bali. Camodia was a quick three hour flight and the price was right. I found an AirBNB for $20.00 a night, booked my stay, purchased my flight and I was set.

Arriving to Cambodia was the easy part, getting through Immigration was a whole other story. They have a dislike for Americans, at least that was the vibe I got. I won't get into details, but the welcome was not expected nor warranted.

After getting through immigration and paying $32.00 for a visa that was good for a month (no thanks) I grabbed my luggage and waited for my ride. 

It was a Tuk Tuk and the host of my airBNB host that came to pick me up. My AirBNB was a small house and unfortunately no Air Conditioning which turned out to be a huge necessity.But I made the best of it.

My first day in Cambodia I decided to visit the National Museum of Siam Rep, since my intentions were to visit Angkor Wat and the other temples there I figured it would make sense to get a better understanding by visiting the Museum.

To say it was overwhelming is an understatement. So much history and so very interesting. Here are some photos of my visit:
