Left at 4.30 to get temple tickets then drove to Angkor Wat. Took photos for sunrise but missed sunrise damn. Went back to hotel until 8.45 then went back to Angkor Wat to do a tour. Made between 1113 and 1150, 4000 elephants used. King abandoned in it 15th century so changed and Hindu to Buddhist temple. Wasn't attacked in civil war. Drove to Angkor Bayon temple. Saw elephants on side of the road. Built in 1181 and is dedicated to Buddha. All Buddhas have 54 heads to represent 54 provinces. All have 4 faces for compassion, sympathy, equality, charity. Our tour guide took a photo of us all kissing Buddha. Sat in small very holy and peaceful shrine with incense. Drove to temple from toomrader films. Had to walk through jungle, it was boiling hot, we were all sweating so much and there was so many bugs. a joke was made about an ant hill and vegemite but i can't remember it anymore but i remember laughing. Went back and had a shower. Then went for a massage at the same place where the night market is. All 7 of us had foot massages with cucumber on our faces. It was very good they gave us juice which tasted like dirt. they started laughing at us for using snapchat filters, they hadn't used them before. we all got told off for laughing but it was very funny. It started to rain very heavily and we had to walk home in it. Some of us bought big waterproofs that looked like condoms. Went out for dinner. i had some spring rolls for starter, saw a frog on the floor. Had cocktails at dinner then went to cheers bar with bottom stools. Played never have I ever and danced with prostitutes "no money no honey". Went to temple bar and Rachel pulled. Stopped for Oreos on the way home. Sarah likes snacks
