Angkor Wat and tourists are the only thing keeping this town alive. It is an AWESOME town though, nice and warm people, it's amazing, everything costs 1$, beer is 0.5$ though :) Also tourists differ a lot from those in Bangkok, way more true backpackers.

I have two roomates, a swedish dude that keeps studying and a canadian dude, retired psychologyst traveling aroung his whole life. So me and the old guy went to grab something to eat. That's the people I like meeting amd talking to on trips, people who share experiences, who've seen the world, we've met toms of nice prople from Australia, US, ... interesting debates. At the end we tried fried ice cream, something you can buy on any corner.
