We had a free morning on this last day in Siem Reap so we spent it leisurely packing our bags, tuk tuk to town for breakfast (the noodle soup was excellent), and a bit more shopping for Michael.
Throughout our stay we have managed to decline (time and time and time again) the surprisingly popular Fish Pedicures. Everywhere you turn there are 100 gallon fish tanks full of little fish that are apparently happy to consume dirt and dead skin cells off of willing (and not ticklish) tourists' feet for 20 minutes at a cost of $3.00 - but that includes a draught beer. So you'll see maybe 8 strangers who would normally probably wear flipflops in a hotel shower all sitting with their feet dangling in a tank of dirty water with fish swarming their feet. A great idea for all you business people looking for the next big franchise!
Anyway, carrying on - we squeezed in a tour of the oldest temples. It was beastly hot but the sky was clear so we stopped one more time at Angkor Wat for more photos - still scaffolding but prettier skies!
Now we are at the airport too far in advance of our flight so we walked over to the International Terminal and found, of all things, a Dairy Queen! Craziness. So we are eating oreo and kit kat blizzards in Siem Reap looking at Christmas decorations apparently put up just for the tourists in this Buddhist nation. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.
