Last day in Cambodia, chanted with monks

So my last day in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Tomorrow I'm taking a bus to Vietnam. Although Cambodia started out on a very sour note... it a way it has redeemed itself. Yesterday I was able visit with a French guy I met at the guest house ($4 a night) some of the most stunning ruins imaginable and was floored by the beauty and majesty. Many of them were in the jungle where massive trees have swallowed up and toppled the structures.

Today, I went did nothing but write post cards and enjoyed sugar cane just by the river. In the afternoon met a former monk who invited me join in on a meditation session; there I was introduced to another buddhist monk who invited me to his home. After a brief chat, I went into the main temple walls to watch the monks in a chant session. All in all, it was a nice relaxing day with much needed calm and rest. Incidently, I also met another beautiul Brisith girl who invited me to dinner after the mediation session... unfortunately I forgot the name of the restaurant. :)

That's all for now....I'll post pictures when I get to Vietnam. I'm due to arrive at 8pm by bus.
