cambodia in 5 days

I just got back from Cambodia 3 days ago. It was again a 5-days-trip, but even so we managed to visit quite a lot of places and to get a good impression of the country.

We began visiting Angkor Wat temples, near Siem Reap. I must recognize some of them really impressed me. The weather was hot, we had to wake up really early in the mornings and we hardly got much sleep, but still, we enjoyed 
it a lot.

We then jumped on a local-6-hours-bus to get to Cambodia's capital: Phnom Phen. I must say the change was drastic. Not only Siem Reap was much more touristic than Phnom Phen, it was also cleaner, more organized, more relaxed. Phnom Phen, on the other hand, was nearly as chaotic as Bangkok, dirty, poor. I don't think I'll ever forget the 10 minutes we spent on a local street market packed with dozens of motionless hens, fishes covered with fleas, meat lying on the floor...
