I forgot to mention that I bumped into Ryan and Adam, two guys from my Rotman program, while walking down the Khao San Road my last night in Bangkok. It was great to see them and we hung out for a couple beers. Then, last night, after an amazing day checking out Angkor Wat, I was walking down Bar Street, the Cambodia equivalent of Khao San, and bumped into Dave, another Rotkid. Awesome to see him and we went for a few beers together. I was still hanging out with the Quebecois couple and the three of us wound up eating "happy pizza" around 10:30pm. By "happy" the Cambodians mean "pizza with ganja". At least 15 of the restaurants in this little city advertise that they sell this delight. Dominic was very excited about the idea and ordered us a "very, very, very happy pizza." When it arrived, it was clear that there were some odd spices in it, but none of us could tell if it was spiked with pot or not for sure. The whole thing, the size of a large pizza, was $5 US. After we ate, we all went home to our guesthouses before anything happened. About 30 minutes after I got home and had had my 5th shower of the day, it kicked in. I was completely stoned for the next 12 hours. I managed to sleep after watching the Cartoon Network and a documentary about the history of China but when I woke up I was still completely buzzing. Chaum, the driver, picked up all four of us around 10:00 and Dave was also still feeling it. So, for the first few hours of the day, we walked around ruins baked. It was quite pleasant, apart from the heat.

Most of the day was spent driving. We drove far out to visit a waterfall about 60kms from Angkor Wat. It was interesting, with carved stones amongst the waterfall, but there was not really enough water flowing through to make the waterfall very impressive. The drive through the rural areas was the best part as we got to see how most Cambodians live. It *poured* all afternoon so by 4:00 we were all back in our hotels.

Dinner was quite special. For $12 per person, we went to a very nice restaurant where we were served a delicious Cambodian buffet and entertained by lovely Cambodian dancers. Very soothing and enjoyable experience.

The frenchies have already gone back to the hotel. Dave and I are going to have a drink or two on Bar Street. He heads to Japan tomorrow while I have another day in the Angkor ruins before heading to Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday. Gotta book that flight tomorrow.
