Siem Reap

Compared to Phnom Penh, Siem Reap is quite a village. Not that it´s that small, but everything is more chill there - and it´s way less traffic. 

It has a super nice night market (actually there´s like three... and not only at night but also during day time... but it´s more fun at night, I swear!) 

Also just chilling by the river, which is going trough the whole city (I guess) is amaaaazing!

Like everywhere in Asia there´s sooo many temples, you can impossibly see all of them (only if you did nothing but running from temple to temple bur who´d enjoy that?). But there´s a really nice and colorful one with a gorgeous garden around it in the center. Forgot the name of it. Am sorry. 

Don´t trust the food there though. You might order a Vege-noodle soup, saying five times that you don´t want meat, chicken, fish or shrimp in it. Just no animals. Then you might get the soup, immideataly asking what that meat-looking thing is. "vegetabel, vegetabel, no meat!" Aight. You trust these people and might eat the soup for like five minutes. And THEN you might find the LARGEST piece of dead animal in there, you could possibly imagine.

Again, you´re asking the waitress what that is. "No meat! Only vegetabel! This pork!" Then you might freak out and cry a little. Fuck my life, was I pissed! 

But honestly, whole Cambodia was like that, so I´m not only judging Siem Reap for their wide definition of the words "Vegetarian" and "No-meat". 

I didn´t like Siem Reap as much as I liked Phnom Penh, but that´s just because I´m a weird city-person. Almost everyone else I asked told me that they enjoyed Siem Reap more, so it´s really worth the visit!
