day 15

Got to learn to start updating my blog daily, keep forgetting where i've been and whats happened.

Got up early and booked a bus to siem reap. As always with buses it was horrible, but this one was especially horrible. There was no aircon and the bus was tiny, even i struggled with leg room let alone the giant candian sitting opposite me. I got a tuk-tuk to the hostel i had booked which took about 40mins and only cost $1 (although they are very slow). I stayed in a dorm room with 6 other people who were all really cool but 3 of them left an hour after i checked in (they swore it wasn't because of me) so it became quite empty. The hostel it's self was pretty awesome, it had a pool table, a table football, a pool, tv room with loads of films and most importantly a good selection of hammocks.

When happy hour started ($0.5 a pint) i went down to the bar with a guy from my room who had just finished a 2month motorbike tour of vietnam with his son. He was really interesting and had some good tips about travelling. We then headed into town to "pub street" to get some food. We had an amazing street food BBQ with a huge steak for only $1.50 and some kebabs. We then went into a couple of the bars which were absolutely packed despite it being a sunday. As it was just one long street there was so much competition that the drinks were incredibly cheap and everyone was trying to drag you in. I also found a great place that did normal pizza for $4 or the happy hour special of "happy pizza" for $3. I resisted the urge but we saw 2 french guys who were a right state.

I realise most of these blog posts are just me recounting how drunk i got i'm trying to make them more interesting  but i don't think theres too much i can say about a bus ride...
