Siem Reap and liking it

Marry Xmas everybody. For me there hardly was an Xmas-feeling since i visited the bigest bhuddist temple imaginable, Anchor Wat. Actually we must speak about the village of Anchor Thom, an old civilazation, that suddenly disappeared somewhere in the 18h century whitout any aparent reason. However it was impressive. I took the one day ticket, but should have taken the two days version. Google it and be amazed. Live it's even better. I was driven around in a tuktuk by Dara, a very friendly cambodian guy. They wanted me to pay US$ 50 for the trip, but i managed to negociate that down to US$15. Of course i tipped Dara well.
End of the day took a shower, got some 50 cents beers (US$ cents that is), had a great meal (don't tell parina, but i think Cambodian food is even better than Thai food), stroled around Siem Reap and spend the last hour in frontof the TV.
Today (26-12): moved to another guethouse (Palmgarden Lodge, a true paradise: cheap, free internet, free coffee and tea, very friendly people and even BVN on TV, haha). Spend the rest of the day updating, walking, reading and relaxing. About to see the park, arange a smal trip for tomorrow, and dinner after that.

See you, Jan.

PS: the results of the landmines here is still to be seen in a horrible way: many people (lots of children too) here with missing limbs. All of them begging, since there is no social healthcare in Cambodia. Who put all those (still over 4 million!!) mines there in the first place? And what do they do about it today? It makes me F*&^%king mad!
