| Arriving in Siem Reap, hotel included a free transfer from airport. In a Tuk-Tuk. Cool! | Our first selfie in a Tuk-Tuk. We will use these a LOT getting around town! | Electrical wiring... hmmm. | ||||

| After a bit we realize this is the norm here. | Yup this is normal. | The electrical wiring all over Siem Reap is this way. | Yup. | After checking into hotel, we set out on foot. Cows tethered grazing next to the river. | ||

| We stop at Davy bar/restaurant in the market for drink and munchies - apple juice (yellow) and iced green tea. | great veggies! | and spring rolls. Later we realized why this market is so quiet - it's ~3pm and this is the "Night Art Market", it comes alive after dark. | Next, pedestrian bridge across the river to the other markets and huge party area, Pub Street. | Not quite what I think PITA stands for :-) | ||

| on a big bus. | Next, Phare Circus - they of course have a gift shop so Sue had to buy earrings. $5, a deal and it helps the kids. | Phare is trying to give underprivileged kids free school in arts, music, dance, theatre, gymnastics. It's like a kids version of Cirque du Soliel, and trying to break the circle of poverty. | Of course they have a Cafe there too, so we had dinner. Angkor is the local beer, more veggies and rice (yum!) | |||

| Inside the circus theatre, we're in the cheap seats behind a pole, but not bad for buying ticketes 2 hours before showtime. | Seats are slowly filling up. They say 1200 kids are enrolled in the free school and 150 have already graduated and gotten professional jobs in the arts. | Nearly full and still a few minutes before performance. It was SO good we are going back again Friday night! | ||
