Today we leave Phuket to go to Siam Reap, Cambodia. To say that we have no idea what we’re going to find there is an understatement. It was essentially an afterthought, and we’ve done little in the way of research to know what we’ll find upon arrival. If our knowledge of Thailand was limited, our knowledge of Cambodia is nonexistent.
That having been said, we’re ready to leave Phuket. For some reason, there was a LOT of street noise last night, and neither of us slept well.
Add to that the fact that Larry’s picked up a minor case of “Tourist Tummy”, something which will focus your attention with no small amount of anxiety when you know that there are not one but two airplane rides on the agenda for the following day.
Absolutely NOTHING will focus your attention like realizing that you have to circumnavigate two airports, with a 3 hour layover in between, with an unpredictable stomach.
It improves your vision and memory, both. You learn that you can spot those blue “Toilet” signs with eyes that might have missed them before, and your ability to memorize where they are in every corridor of every airport becomes amazing.
It’s not life threatening, and hasn’t meant that he’s missed anything, but it’s a real attention getter, especially when tomorrow we go to Angkor Wat, to see the temple ruins there.
Oh, and western style toilets, outside of hotels and restaurants used by tourists, are purportedly sometimes scarce.
Let’s not even talk about what a “squat” toilet is.
