Here I am again, waiting for my next adventure to begin. It has been all about temple this year. This time, it's the renowned Angkor Wat temple!
This must be the most beautiful immigration card of all:
Before moment of landing, we were able to spot greens everywhere. Some green spots like algae populated lakes across the city.
We were welcomed by our tuk-tuk driver, complimentary pick up arranged by our hotel. I believe it is consider a luxury if you get to ride in a car in Siem Reap, however the roads are not as well conditioned and maintained. Gravels, pothholes were everywhere. I think that's why many locals are using SUV like first generation Lexus RX, but Camrys were spotted as well. (The inner car enthusiast me took over for a while)

As our flight was delay, we actually arrived at our Kingfisher Angkor Hotel near dinner time. After a quick rest and shower, we headed out to search for our first spot to visit - Angkor Night Market. It was not as big nor as merry as I imagine, however this is just one out of two most happening streets in Siem Reap, apart from Pub Street.
Massage shops were everywhere. I was dragged and pulled by a woman masseur, asking me to visit her for a 'massage'! Maybe it was because I was wearing a singlet and looks kinda sexy hahaha! We were famished, and desperately looking for a restaurant which serves any kind of food. Fruit juice and fried ice cream stalls were all over the place. Some tasted authentic, some were just purely food flavouring or overly sweet...
The night market street was actually quite short. After viewing some locally made souvenirs and bought some personalised keychains for our colleagues, we headed back to the hotel for a good night sleep...
NEXT: Day 2, of the city & Pub Street
