Angkor What!?
Greetings from hot, sunny, moist Cambodia!
We are currently in the city of Siem Reap, closest city to Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and other famous temples and sites. The temples are so ornate and interesting that you can't help but spend hours marvelling at them. We have been walking around in the jungle looking at these places and enjoying them. The Cambodian people have been very friendly and warm to us, despite the fact that we blend in with a million other tourists.
Today we went to see Chong Kines the floating village that floats on Tonle Sap, the largest lake in Cambodia. The water level of the lake flucutates by well over ten feet depending upon the season. I'll add pics as soon as I get back home.
Anyway, my time in the internet bar is drawing to a close, so I'll say goodbye from sunny Cambodia.
P.S. I'm wearing shorts and sandals RIGHT NOW!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Hey, I could have been wearing shorts and sandals yesterday, too! :)
I'm just curious, how is traveling in out of China? I mean, considering the situation, do you have to do a lot of paperwork and such to travel to all these different countries?
We need to submit a leave request to Peace Corps to let them know what we are doing, but other than that we just need to do the regular visa/customs/immigration stuff.
If you've been following the news right now you've seen that China is buried under snow. We barely made it out after going over a very slippery mountain pass. We are worried about getting home now too. Travel has ground to a halt during the time of year when people are all traveling home to see their families. It is pretty dangerous and crowded. So we are waiting to see what to do next. Wish us luck!
