Cambodia was totally awesome, at first your greeted with large amounts of poverty, but when you get to Siem Reap, the city is actually very nice. The first person we met was our Tuk Tuk driver, Tiger, who drove us around for a whole day. "I'm a Tuk Tuk Driver because I drive Tuk Tuk's, and that's the F'n 5 star hotel!" He was awesome.
Angkor Wat is unbelievable. It's like the pyramids mixed with machu pichu mixed with the aztec ruins. It was the coolest archaelogical site I have ever seen, and makes England's stonehenge look like child's play or legos. We explored that for a whole day and then went to a floating village. We took a boat down the river and sat on the bow with our legs outstretched over the side and had a beer while taking some amazing photographs. On the floating village we had time to explore, see a pool of crocodiles, eat some food and take in the sights.
At night time we got foot massages by Dr. Fish, a giant tub of fish that eat the dead skin off your feet while you drink a beer. The next night we also got "4 Handys," oil massages by two cambodian women at the same time, which are out of this world epicly awesome, best massage ever.
Then we went back to Thailand and Phuket, where me and JT bungee jumped 150 feet at Jungle Bungy. For my jump, I was dipped all the way into the water up to my knees, and then rocketed back up to space up to 100 feet again, it was awesome, and definitely crazier than my first jump because you touch the water.
Now were in Shanghai for Chinese New Year, should be full of fireworks and dragon parades.
Really cool Dan! When do you start teaching again? Happy you are enjoying life over there :)
