Our first tuk-tuk ride (EDITED to omit negativity!)

We're staying at the Angkor Village Resort until Friday morning, when we leave for Phnom Pehn. This resort is basically a rain forest, and I've got the mosquito bites to prove it! Why didn't our room come with a mozzie net over the bed? Good question! EDIT: there was toooooooo much complaining in this post, due to the fact I had been awake since 4am. I am attempting to change my outlook on life, and will TRY to keep my negativity to my own damn self. My fathers comment remains, however, because he is the F'n BEST <3

Last night we took our first tuk-tuk ride into town, and HOT DAMN what an experience!!! For those wondering what a tuk-tuk is, it's basically a 4-seat (2 benches on opposite sides) cart that is attached to the back of a motorbike. There are handles above your head (on the roof of the tuk-tuk), typically made from rubber hoses and/or thick rope. We will be enjoying many a tuk-tuk while in Thailand :)
Traffic here is absolutely random in the most chaotic way possible, but everyone is calm and no one yells, so it's verrrrrry interesting. I can't wait to compare it to the abundance of motorbikes that are waiting to kill us while crossing the street in Saigon LOL ;)
This resort only has free wifi in the lobby, so I may/may not be able to tell you about our Angkor Wat adventures until we get to the next hotel, but I'll try my darnedest.
LOVE LOVE LOVE

  1. Geneviève and Ryan,
    presently in Cambodia
    are on their way to Thailand,
    a Kingdom in Southeast Asia.

    With mosquitoes & construction, you rise early.
    Hey, it must feel just like our summer!
    As for the rooster, get even easily,
    just order chicken at the next dinner.

    Be careful in the tuk-tuk,
    we don't want you to fall.
    But if your stomach rumbles "yuk",
    remember that it was your call!

    Wish you Godspeed
    On the "Splendours of Asia".
    I'm sure you have all you need,
    including love and kisses from Canada.

    Mom & Dad xxoo
