all about nini: Siem Reap, Cambodia 2010

I was sent home by our company doctor last Friday due to measles. I need to be isolated. Just in time with our last release before we GO LIVE! You know how critical it is if your in an IT industry. But I've been working my ass since this project began, I guess its taking its toll on me. I don't want to check and be bothered with work emails, I know my mailbox is bursting with mails. I don't care, I'm on sick leave anyway. Let me have at least three days of work-worry-free if there's such a thing. Otuke, otuke (what to do?) the rashes stating to itch, I need to divert my fingers attention. So I'm trying to draft my next travel itinerary. If we failed to get a Japan visa we need to think of a plan B. Maybe we can go to Beijing, it looks like the tiff between PH and China has slowed down. But looking at a friends pictures from his recent trip to Cambodia makes me want to come back to that place. Siem Reap has a different magic for me. Now, reminiscing our Bangkok-Cambodia trip last August 2010 with the CGS girls.

There were no direct flights yet from Manila to Cambodia then, so we enter thru Bangkok and took the bus going to the border in Siem Reap. We never thought, were just being adventurous, but according to my Tita who works in Phom Phen, its not safe to take those bus especially during the wee hours.

Its amazing how they manage to carry huge cargo with just a 2 wheeled cart

This one even has their muse :)

its a Toyota Camry :(

This is the place where we stay, not bad, its clean and the staff and the owner are very friendly. They also arranged our tour and our tuktuk. Were lucky that they accommodate us even if we don't have a reservation. We just called them in the middle of the night when we arrived in Bangkok, and they even arranged a car to pick us up in the boarder.
