Day 52 Wed 10/17
We caught up on our lost sleep from the night before and met Stephanie around noon. For a dollar, we rented push bikes and were able to ride around the town and the outskirts and get a better feel of living in Siem Reap. The flow of traffic is "go when you feel good" and there is no problem with two motorcycles, tuktuks, and bikes cramming into a street as long as you squeeze a little to let everyone fit. Our butts hurt after biking, so we enjoyed a $4 massage and as we were walking there through the street, a Korean girl comes up yelling Maggie. Of course, leave it to Maggie to run into someone she knows while in Cambodia. We got dinner with her, Soo Hyun and another Korean girl and two Dutch guys. We taught them the card game Bullshit. We went to another bar to get more drinks and found it weird that there was no music playing on all of Pub St. We later learned that there will be seven days without festivities, due to the former kings death. In the last bar we met some guys from Argentina and played the states/capitals/countries games where I shocked Maggie with how many countries and capitals I knew of central and South America.
