I was fortunate enough to spend four days in Siem Reap, Cambodia last week. It was a wonderful mix of adventure and\u00a0R&R, plus I met some great people along the way.<\/p>\n

Because Cambodia is so cheap (especially compared to SNG!) I splurged on a 5 star spa resort, which cost me $70 a night, including spa treatments, breakfast and discounts on already cheap cocktails!<\/p>\n

Day 1, I arrived in the afternoon so after settling into my room, I went to the cultural dinner and show held by the resort. The traditional Cambodian food was super tasty, and all of the dancers and musicians were really talented. A great night out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 2, I went to the Angkor Archaeological Park to do the Flight of the Gibbon. This was amazing \u2013 a must do! I was super lucky because I had three guides with me, so one of them volunteered to be my personal photographer \u2013 LEGEND! After zip-lining through the tree tops. I went to a pottery class where I learnt to shape clay. The spinning wheel used was manual, so this surely tested my coordination and leg muscles. From here I took a tuk tuk back to the resort, and sat by the pool with a mojito (or two) while waiting for my full body massage. It\u2019s safe to say, I slept really well that night. Especially considering I am currently sleeping in a single bed on campus, so the king size bed was like a dream.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Day 3, I was up and eagerly ready by 4:30am to\u00a0start the\u00a0sunrise bicycle temple tour. This was better than I could ever anticipate. There was almost a universal silence across all the people who came to see the sun appear over Angkor Wat; the sight was absolutely breathtaking. From here we walked through Angkor Wat, then donned our bicycles and rode through the forest to the Bayon and Ta Prohm templates.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The last day was spent relaxing around the resort before heading to the airport \u2013 Singapore bound. Four days was nowhere near long enough. I really hope I can visit again soon!<\/p>\n
