Hello from Siem Reap! We got in around 11:00 pm local time on Thursday night after long, long plane rides. The flight from Atlanta to Seoul was 15 hours and 45 minutes. We made it through by watching movies (The Hangover), reading and sleeping for about 5 hours. We flew Korean Air, and it was the best airplane food we've ever had. Then we flew from Seoul to Siem Reap on a flight full of people going on vacation. They drank beer while we slept for another three hours.

We went to bed at 1:00 am and slept until 2:00 pm the next day. The guys at the front desk thought that was funny. We're staying at a great guesthouse that's family-run and very friendly. Our room is clean, air conditioned and has a private bath. There's also a simple restaurant downstairs that serves good, homemade food. Each meal is about $2.

We've spent the last three days just trying to get over jetlag. It's an 11 hour time difference, so we've been a little loopy. But we have explored town, and we found some good restaurants, visited a small temple and toured a silk weaving shop. Tomorrow we're visiting ConCERT, a volunteer placement office in Siem Reap, and I'm hope they can help me (Lynsey) find a good project while I'm here.

It's midnight here, so we're heading to bed. Hope everyone at home has a good afternoon!
