Christmas in Cambodia - part 3

Forgot to say that it was really strange to see temple walls that were blocks stacked vertically with little horizontal overlapping - a very weak construction. No wonder the walls fell down.

And there is a real over-supply of everything here - clothes, tuk-tuks, hotels. More people selling than buying. You could arrive with an empty rucsac and go home with a full one for not very much. Double room with shower about 10$.

Christmas dinner was 6 shared Khmer dishes and 12 beers between the 4 of us for the princely sum of 22$. But no turkey or mince pies (or snow). The carol singers were rubbish, mostly American songs.

More temples on Boxing Day, then off to Battambang for 3 nights.
