Bangkok/Siem Reap Dan finally made it out of India to Bangkok so it was off to Cambodia towards Siem Reap! Taking the bus to the border wasn't too bad but as soon as we walked over the border to try and get a bus to Siem Reap, the hassling began. Cambodia's first impressions are dulled by all these people trying to scam tourists. A tip to anyone trying to visit Cambodia: Apply and obtain the e-Visa online through the Cambodian government site! It's quick and easy and all you need is to print two copies (one to get in, one for departure). Taking the free government shuttle from the border to the bus station, as recommended online, a guide jumped on-board along for the ride and then during the ride told us that he could get us a cheaper ride into the city. We just needed to go through him....

Bangkok Dan got stuck in visa-land trying to leave India so we will meet him tomorrow morning before heading to Siem Reap. What did I do today? Worked on Munomic and ate lots of Nooddi. A great day. p.s. Check out the latest Munomic project launched on 1/1/2012! www.touchedbyaprayer.com

Bangkok Happy New Year! Hope 2012 treats you well. Being on the Buddhist Calendar means that Bangkok doesn't sleep on January 1st. That also means our new friends and I went out to the weekend market and I got a bunch of random gifts/souvenirs which amount to a bag full of yarn-ball angry birds and a very light, "Thai-style" shirt. This is way more comfortable to wear around than any other shirt I have. There was a magician at the mall! He had some cool tricks literally up his sleeve, even one where he pulled a bird out of an iPad. That was neat. Giant stitch dolls in a shopping mall? That's my kind of mall. This place is huge. The rest of our time here in Bangkok is pretty much dedicated to finishing up our current side projects while waiting for our friend Dan to arrive from his travels...
