Last day in Siem Reap :(:(:(:(

Sorry didnt update yesterday folks but internet has not been working. yesterday morning i went to the silk farm which was interesting and then went to the war museum which was also very good. guy that showed us around the war museum was growing up during the war and some parts of the museum he could not look at the pictures because some of his friends were the people in them that were injured, was very sad and he showed us he still has a small bit of shrapnel in his eye, he lost his fingers on one hand due to a land mine and also has bit of metal work in groin which causes him a lot of pain and he hopes one day to get an operation on his leg. he also said he does not get paid for working at museum but he likes to show tourists around and show them how happy he is now that no war in his country.
in the evening we went out for a meal as usual and then hit the night market and island bar. was some kind of entertainment going on tonight for new year and was quite dangerous at times but funny, stuff that happens here would never be allowed to happen back home. love how laid back it is here and will miss that loads when get back home.

Monday.....i leave here tomorrow morning, cannot believe it has been 4 and a half weeks already :( dont want to come home but guess it will be fun to catch up with family and friends. just dont feel ready to come home yet but never mind, il be back. went into town this morning and then went to pool for a wee while, never thought id be happy when sun wasnt really shining at a pool but loved it for a couple hours this afternoon. was quite cloudy so very nice cool swim. going out for dinner tonight with a few people and then going to get last min bits and pieces. have packed most of my bag and will do rest later. doubt i will sleep tonight because be too worried that i sleep in for flight home.....mind you maybe that wouldnt be such a bad thing. get stuck in siem reap for another few days/weeks or even months :) x
