Pub Street!

Our last night in Siem Reap, We grabbed a remork and headed out to Pub Street. The main drag was lit up, and we saw a massive throng of locals that were either dancing or working out in front of blasting music. There was also gym equipment right on the sidewalk and every single piece was being used. Tourism is still down 40% from COVID and after dropping us off, our drivers insisted they would wait for us to no matter how long it would take after we gave him a $2 tip on a $3 ride. Lively entertainment area that was all lit up and festive, we had plenty of options for live music, massage, food, and libations. We stopped at the $3 fish massage where the fish cleaned our feet while we had free beer. Added bonus was the live traditional Cambodian music right next to us.

We then walked the short strip, selected a place that had a good vibe, and enjoyed cocktails and dinner while getting to know our waiter. He travels quite the distance to come into work and is in his first year of university where he's learning C++ coding. It is a challenge, because the written language here is Sanskrit. The translated educational materials in this country are limited.Weiterlesen
