Lets get our party on, Siem Reap Style!!!

Meeting up with Helen has been great as not only has she shown us round, given us tips Helen also introduced us to her Volunteering buddies. On Friday we all met up for a 'couple' of drinks which turned into a heavy night consisting of getting to know the 'Bucket drinks

which is basically half a bottle of spirits with a splash of mixer in well... a bucket! All for around 3-4 quid. It's safe to say we didn't realise how potent these were and spent the following day resting our weary heads (we left the hostel twice, for food) It was a great night out which ended up in Angkor What? which is one of the many party bars on Pub Street, we danced on the tables till the cows came home (normal western behavior) We then had to perk our selves up on Sat night to join the crew again for a 'Same, Same but different' night. We all bought T-shirts with 'Same Same...' written on and a pair of the coolest (fake) Ray Bans we could find, I've got some sweet ones that look like they're made of wood and Steph found a pair of purple rimmed ones :) We were taken back to our student days by being given a challenge card which saw us swapping our tops, doing a human pyramid contest, getting a kiss from people with a name beginning with a letter from our name and many more silly but fun games. We were wise to the buckets this time and actually made it out of our room on Sunday. As well as getting involved on the very touristy pub street we also went for a Khmer BBQ! A hot plate arrived on our table as well as a veggie plate and a stack of interesting meat plates... We started off cooking up the beef which was lovely, next came the prawns, then the crocodile (oh yes I said crocodile) then onto the Snake (yep that's right) and we finished off with a couple of frogs legs, yum yum! It was all really tasty apart from the Snake which was very chewy! We still have more to tell about our Siem Reap adventure, we'll fill you in soon. Much Love, Mike and Steph.
