The ride to Siem Reap was a little more interesting. We had booked a VIP bus for the early afternoon and the driver was terrible. He destroyed the clutch driving out of station and we had to swap it out for a slightly less than VIP bus. After another 5 minutes of driving I bet Charlie that he would either keep the bus under 50 KPH or that he would fry the second bus as well. I lost the bet I’m pretty sure the driver took a good 5 years off the life of that bus’s engine. Later on while we were still 90 minutes away from Siem Reap one of the passengers had some kind of significant medical episode. He lost consciousness and his girlfriend completely lost her cool. I know a little bit of first aid so I went to the back to try and help but there was already a big crowd of people trying to assist so I figured it would be better to stay back. Someone tried to give him CPR but he regained consciousness as soon as they started (from what I saw they didn’t check to see if he had a pulse…) The guy said he was fine but Charlie and I offered up our seats at the front of the bus where there was a bit more fresh air. The rest of the ride had no other issues. (PSA: Here’s a video of Vinnie Jones explains how to actually do CPR)

On our last day we saw Ankor Wat at sunrise and then spent the rest of the day getting ready for the next leg of the trip. Most of the beer is ~ 0.50 cents so we also went out for a few drinks and a foot massage at a VERY up-scale massage parlor.
