We did not spend all our time in temples...Siem Reap is a delightful town which is quickly growing into a metropolis - from 8000 inhabitants ten years ago to 1 million today - which is providing many opportunities for astute investors, 80% from abroad. Building is going on a great pace, much is in a state of being unfinished....and almost everything is new. Luckily everything is being built in an architectual style that melds with the existing buildings.
Along the river, not 3 km out of town, rural life goes on:
...and times have not changed in the least....
In town it is a different story....charming restaurants where we had terrific meals for less than $15 for two...can you figure out this photo?
We also laughed for half and hour, thanks to Dr Fish and the fish spa....this a an Asian pedicure....
...and the monks are everywhere....
In 20 minutes we're off to the airport, back to Saigon, then on to Tokyo at midnight tonight....more from the land of the Rising Sun....
