HIGHTLIGHT OF DAY 2

Okay so my new friend Meas (Globalteer security guard) took me for a moto ride (basic motorcycle) this evening to a place called 60 street which is a night market and carnival. I felt like a local riding on the back of a moto except for the fact that I had both my hands gripping the back bar and was wearing a helmet unlike Cambodians who pack families on one moto and the passengers don't wear head gear. It was so freeing to be travelling around Siem Reap this way. I really felt like I experienced the 'real' city. Where we ventured off to there were no tourists. Meas told me the carnival is his favourite place so I suggested we play one of the games. For one U.S. dollar we got 5 tries to pop ballons with our darts. We hit 4 ballons and that one us 2 cans of beer and a wine cooler. So fun! Off to a restaurant/bar for a farewell party for fellow volunteers, one of whom I have yet to meet. Pics of the moto ride to come.
Here they are:
