30th Sept 2018

Zip lining was a little bit of a let down but it was still good fun.  Basically the staff did everything for you which was a little frustrating when you're used to doing everything yourself.
We started early in the day and luckily there were only 6 in our group all of which were couples and Chinese.    We later understood that they had to be so stringent with rules is that we know from experience that they're not the best at listening, so safety comes first. 
We would have had video but we forgot to put the battery in the Go Pro :-D  LOL
We had some stunning views and Simon teased me nearly on every zip line or bridge that 'This is the one that has just reopened or has just been fixed'  ..He's a rascal.    There were a couple of bridges to walk across and then the rest of the course was mild zip lines ..fun but I don't think we'd go back.

That evening Simon found a vegan restaurant to try, bland compared to Thai standards but very enjoyable.


 After dinner and a massive downpour, we grab a tuk tuk to take us to the The Cambodian Circus.  The show we watched with delight was called 'Same Same but different'

THE CIRCUS ..we had the best seats in the house :-D


The Cambodian Circus ..exciting
Popcorn, Beer & FREE metal water bottle





'Same Same but Different'  It tells a story of everyday situations and explored the different habits and ways of living between Cambodians and foreign visitors.  A sudden downpour and unexpected outage, a hectic boat trip and a relaxing dinner all provide the backdrops for funny encounters and opposing perspectives But in every situation they find understanding and connect at a human level.  The artists share their own unique take on cultural differences, poking good nature fun at themselves and others.    They have different shows all inspired by real life experiences of it's creators and performers with themes such a war, discrimination, relationships, poverty and ghosts.

If you go to Siem Reap, this is a MUST SEE!!
