Its close to 1700 now at Siem Reap, Cambodia, and instead of going for a sunset shoot at Phnom Bakheng, the crazy rain - imagine gusts of strong wind and a constant stream of water flying everywhere - has kept me indoors.
One of the people at Mandalay Inn, where I'm staying, said that yesterday the rain and winds were so strong, the bamboo tree in their front yard toppled. They were fixing up the tree and tying it to a support in preparation before the rain came, and I'd say they predicted well enough.
However, the rain which is supposed to last only a short period of time, has been going on for about 45 minutes and looks like it will not abate yet.
So far, Siem Reap looks like a really nice backpackers' destination, but the dust is crazy - imagine your cameras coated in dust, filters coated in dust, and face coated in dust.
Also, Mandalay Inn is really value for money. The place is very clean, and despite being sparsely furnished, there's a television with cable, and the bathroom looks fine.
Anyway, I went to Artisans D'Angkor and Tonle Sap Lake today, and will be uploading photos when I'm back.
Hoping the rain will pass before the dinner & traditional show!
