Cambodia - Hot Weather + Cold Showers
Siem Reap, Cambodia
Flew in from Saigon yesterday and moved into the Big Lyna Villa. It's high season here so if you don't book in advance or are reluctant to shell out $500 US per night the pickings are slim. It's a great room for $15 a night in a traditional Cambodian wooden house. The biggest drawback I discovered was the absence of hot water (where's the second tap?). Cold water isn't so bad because the temp is hot - what is troubling are the red wriggly things that shoot out of the shower head every once in a while and start writhing like crazy on the bathroom floor (which doubles as the shower stall). They look kind of like the bug that they put into Keanu Reeve's belly in the Matrix.
Many grim reminders to watch out for land mines here - lots of people missing limbs in town.
