After a few days of New Years celebrations in Bangkok, Alex and I took a five hour bus ride to the Thai/Cambodian border, waited through three lines for more than four hours to get through the border, and then took a two hour taxi ride with some friendly Spaniards to Siem Reap.
We stayed at a lovely place called the Mango Inn, where everyone said hello simultaneously when we walked in, and we were given fresh juice, warmed towels, and a tour of the Inn. They had a great outdoor restaurant on site where Gin & Tonics were $2.50 and the meals were delicious and cheap.
The highlights of our trip to Cambodia include a buffet dinner with traditional Cambodian dancing, an unforgettable day wandering the ruins of Angkor Wat, and shopping for great souvenirs at the Night Market.

We took so many pictures and I simply couldn't share them all, so hopefully those above have given you an idea of our days in Siem Reap.
