The last weekend in Siem Reip

So as you have noticed there has not been a post for the past couple days as we have been doing a lot of traveling. Therefore this post will be a little longer so that can I catch everyone up on what we have been doing the past few days.

To start Friday was our last day teaching at the university of nations and we decided to teach them how to expand what they learned from us after we were gone. So we had all of our students come to the school and from there we all rode to the nearest Internet cafe. The trip itself already made this day one of my favs as it was quite a site seeing 20 or so students on moto and bike riding down the road playing around just having a wonderful time. After getting there we began to teach on how they could use the Internet to further their education but we ran into problems. As it was hard to teach them not to follow an exact set of instructions but too take the examples that we showed them an apply it to things that they wanted to learn. In the end though everything worked out and I do believe that at least some of them will be able to carry on what we taught them and hopefully get a job.

On Saturday we spent the day with our friends Pset and Heugh at the Ancient Temples of Angkor Wat. Which meant that our day had to start early as Pset insisted that we see the sunrise 5 a.m. and since the temples were several kilometers away and we were getting there by bike we had to wake up at 4 a.m. so to say the least it was a long day. But it was well worth waking up that early for walking through the temple gates and seeing the sunrise was incredible. In all we visited around 7 of the temples my favorite was Tom Phrom which as you will see in the pictures has been swallowed by the jungle. I even climbed to the top of the gate were one of the scenes of Tomb Raider was filmed! Unfortunately though because up my climbing we were not able to see the sunset as they close the pathway to the mountain at 5:30 p.m. even though the sun does not set until 6:20 but other than that I am certain that we will remember that day for the rest of our lives.

Well thats all for today and I will try to be better about keeping you all up to date on our journy in the future.
