Tuk tuks and temples

Next stop--- Cambodia!!

We arrived to Siem Reap and were immediately greeted with a whole slew of tuk tuks. I heard that this was their form of transportation, but I did not realize it was pretty much their only form, along with motorbikes.

We met with a helpful gentleman at the airport who helped us get a taxi- well a taxi is actually just a 4-person tuk tuk. We packed our luggage in and set off!

One app that has been very helpful during our travels is Grab; this is Asia's form of Uber. So when hailing tuk tuks I was able to compare what they should be charging us.

One thing that I learned very early on was that Cambodia mainly took only cash and they loved American dollars. Everywhere we went they accepted US dollars.

After a bumpy tuk tuk ride we arrived to our Onederz hostel; it was lovely. There was a pool and full of fellow travelers.

Foot massage- 2$. Keep em coming!

We took full advantage of the pool when we arrived and met a really nice English girl; who was a psych nurse. We ended up walking around together and exploring the markets and city of Siem Reap.

THE Best Tom Yum soup!

The main attraction to Siem Reap is Angkor Wat- the largest and oldest Buddhist temple in the world. Gina, Amber, Jasmine and I decided to do a sunrise tour of all the temples in the area.
Angkor Wat was beautiful! There was so much detail still apparent, I cannot imagine what it looked like 800 years ago when it was built.

The monkeys were not shy and knew the sound of food wrappers

We wondered around the temples and ended our tour midday. It was perfect timing because it was time to go to our 4th country of the trip- Vietnam.

Diving In

July 23/24 th , 2012 I don’t think I have ever had a longer day. It all started with O’Hare Airport and ended along a cobblestone streets and centuries old bars. Saying good-bye to my family was by far one of the toughest things I have ever done, yes even more stressful than college finals or the LSAT. However, I know this is a great experience and I wanted to take full advantage of the opportunity I have. Or that is what I thought when I first got on the airplane in Chicago. The next few days were, let’s say, like a rollercoaster. I had a lot of ups and downs all within 48 hours. I arrived to Barcelona safely and everything was going great. The people I was sitting next to on both planes reassured me that I was going to love Barcelona and love traveling and very fortunate. The flights were quicker than I thought and I did not sleep an ounce. By the time I actually arrived to Barcelona I was running on excitement, which was...

The REAL beginning of my year in Barcelona

Saying good-bye to Anne in London was very difficult, we had had such an amazing weekend and I did not want to go back to Barcelona. The flight went smoothly, I knew not to make the same mistake with trying to get on Ryanair with two bags; I just checked it right away. I then took the Aerobus back to the city center and grabbed a cab to the new apartment. The apartment was not exactly what I was imagining or predicted; it was quite a distance away from the city and it was a host situation. Maria was the host, meaning we lived with her and not that she was just the landlord. At first I thought it was not at all the situation I wanted and that I wanted my own apartment to have freedom to do whatever. Well I was proven wrong when I was in Barcelona for four nights by myself; Maria turned out to be a great friend and kept me sane. It was a blessing to have someone around that could help me get around the city and to talk to. Maria does not kno...

The Perfect Last Trip....

October 31, 2012- I have never spent Halloween any other way than in a costume, however this year is a bit different. My last trip in Europe was Portugal. My awesome roommate Nic is Portuguese and her grandma was visiting their family home in Coimbra. So Nic invited me to visit her grandma and family in Portugal for a few days to end my time in Europe. It turned out to be the most beautiful place I had visited my entire time in Europe and I felt very welcomed by Nic’s entire family. (Minha's house is the one with the red roof) The journey to Nic’s small town was going to be a challenge; there was no real easy way to get there. The town is Sao Frutuoso and has a very small population, however there is a bar! So that is a plus. We started our trip by flying to Porto and then took two trains, a cab and then a bus to the town. Nic’s grandma, Minha was very excited and was standing outside waiting for us to arrive along with her...
