It is a far more expansive complex than I would have imagined - extending for miles. Initially we were contemplating riding bikes to the temples, but in retrospect this would have been a horrible idea. Our tuk tuk driver has been great. We can't understand anything he says - and often just nod in agreement when he is explaining something, but he has been very accommodating to our photography needs. Cost for this private driver? $10/person.
U.S. Dollars are apparently the main currency here. Basically one can buy anything they want here in Siem Reap - from postcards to jewelry - for a dollar. In fact, later on in the day, one young man was so convinced that Greg needed a flute, that he offered three of them for $1. I think we can all agree that this would have been a fine hobby for Greg to take up, but Greg would have none of it.
In other news, Nicole has warned me not to take any children home with me a là Brad & Angelina. I do not foresee this being a problem, but if someone wants to give me a good deal on them, I could be persuaded. We're about to head out to capture some sunset shots by the temples, so if you want to see some of those, check out Greg's blog in a few hours at http://photoyak.blogspot.com.
Have a good night!
