This is the 'Fallen City' which used to reign at the time of the Ankor in Cambodia. Great little place. The first night we went on a river trip where you stop off at temples and the night market. Saw some more Buddhas. The second day we hired bikes and cycled round the temples seeing the town. There was some great places, especially the massive golden sitting Buddha. I tried a local ice-cream- not so good, it looked like a mini milk but did NOT taste like it. After sweltering in the heat on the bikes we went to get a train ticket to leave. They have this great little taxi boad that takes you over the river. As Chinese new year was still being celebrated there were huge stalls everywhere and people partying in the street. It was great to watch! Near out hostel we ate at the jazz bar. The waiter was funny, determined to befriend all the customers. He made us think of the 10 countries that all had 4 letters. Quite difficult when you're very tired.
The night train was great, thwey served you on trolleys and it was really clean and shiny- but again they kept the lights on all night- they occasionally went off randomly then would come back on. The station was interesting though no obvious other platform however the guards told all westerners what to do as we had to cross thetrain tracks and stand in a really specific place. So glad they helped us, you would never know otherwise.
