I have been in Siem Reap for two weeks. It's a small town, easy explored on foot. There is a one main road through the tourist area, and then another along the river. The tourist places are around the Pub Street. It's all about bars and restaurants. A smalle version of Bangkok, or any other place I have seen in Asia.
 
I have been staying at the Garden Village guest house. It's a great place. The superb semi-private dorms are only a dollar a night! There is a bar with 50 cents draft beer upstairs, and the staff is nice.And of course free WiFi.

Photo:  Siem Reap, Cambodia → The main Pub Street is not the only one lined up with places to eat and drink. There are a few smaller streets in the area, all connected and focused on catering to the tourists. On the left, the market where I had my first tarantula, and what a tasty snak it was!

I've been to Siem Reap for two weeks I think, but I haven't taken many photos of the town itself. There isn't really that much to phototgraph. The main reason everyone comes here is the Angkor Wat, and I made this trip just a few days ago. In Siem Reap I tried a new delicacy, which ufortunately I haven't photographed. Big tarantula spiders! I tried two, it's a dollar for two big ones. I must say that they were quite good! The legs and the rest are crunchy, but the stomach has quite substance to it. it is solid and not bad tasting. I don't know what to compare it to, but I could have rice with veggies and some spiders once in a while no problem. I had no camera with me when I ate the spiders and I went back to the market to buy some more later, another day. I went back for three days and they didn't have them! What a bummer.. I wish I had a photograph of this tasty snack.
