BigBlueBugs in Cambodia!!!



So after two long days of travel, Laura and I have made it to Siem Reap, Cambodia. Its a little bit different than New Zealand, but we think we are adjusting pretty well! We have toured most of the famous Ankor temples, rode our bikes through villages and farms. We have been asked about 1000 times if we need a "tuk tuk" (the cambodian version of a taxi... a carriage attatched to a scooter). We have met some beautiful people... and have had some great food!!! Here are a few pics from our first few days here.
