My Life in Ruins: Cambodia

Day 1 in Cambodia!!

For some reason, facebook doesn't work at the research center. Hmm. Go figure.

Had to get up at 3.30am to catch my Air Asia flight at the ass crack of dawn. But the LLCT was pretty packed and I was surprised at how everything was open despite the early hour. Hmm. Touched down and had a bit of confusion at immigration (nobody on my flight had the visa forms, only customs) where I got rejected at the counter and was sent wandering until I saw ppl from my flight swarming this one dude for forms.

Anyway, I'm here and it's really, really hot and humid - worse than KL. Met most of the team and they seem pretty nice. Managed to explore Siem Reap a little and visit the market where I bought a hat for $2.50! Awesome. Even so, for a supposedly cheap destination, some things can be surprisingly expensive!

Work starts bright and early tomorrow. Bleh. But we get to put a unit in the Angkor Wat enclosure so that'll be pretty cool :) Still coughing but not so sick anymore. Things are looking better and better. Yay!
