One of the things I love about Siem Reap is that we have an extremely tight knit expat community.We have a good Facebook page in which ideas, events, and information are exchanged frequently. We also tend to bond when there's international sporting events (e.g. the recent one being the Olympics) regardless of which side you're on.
We also befriend each other pretty easily - the fact we come from all different walks of life, yet we managed to somehow end up here is pretty amazing in itself. I've met and talked with many people and got to know each of their stories on how they ended up here. That story itself will need a few refills of beer!
Today we were at a farewell party for one of the expats so it was a big celebration at the Yellow Submarine bar, an expat favorite.
Because I overused my liver too much during my college and Japanese "office lady" years, I rarely go out to drink in Siem Reap (I know, shocking right?)... but who can resist a good ol' Jaeger bomb? The bartenders did a work of art here. We definitely had our fun that night. Don't worry, nothing too much - I was in bed by midnight!
