Greetings from land of Khmers

So yesterday we traveled from Bangkok to border town of Aranyaprathet by train - It was pleasurable and hot 3rd class train ride. Well it was the only class available so no choice here. We also found OK bed to sleep for 1/10th of price of hotel in Bangkok. But there was a reason for that :-)

 And today morning the border crossing to Cambodia town of Poipet went very easily. Visa was easily obtained without any queues for 20$. Only thing you needed to do was to say NO to anyone starting to "help"you. Of course somebody screwed us as we paid 10$ for 2 hour A/C taxi drive to Siem Reap, but we were too tired to start haggling too much.

Now staying in very nice Angkor Pearl Hotel, which is bargain for 17$ as our room is huge and very nice. So probably staying Siem Reap for quite a few days now as hotel looks so nice. So next is time to visit temples of Angkor. Hopefully they even closely match reputation they have gathered. So probably next update has some pictures of temples to prove our visiting here...
