DAY 6

Thursday morning, very early, we hopped in a mini van and headed out to catch sunrise at Angkor Wat.

That was followed by Banteay Srei.

After lunch we could do what we wanted, so we went and explored Siem Reap.

We had a massage at Seeing Hands, training blind people in massage, all money goes to the blind. Price for an hour massage is ridiculously cheap.











We were passing the children's hospital run by 'Friends Without a Border', and saw a sign requesting contributions of blood. The wet season brings mosquito borne diseases and the hospital is alway
s looking for some. In exchange for our blood we were given some cool t-shirts.

"Friends Without A Border (Friends) is a not-for-profit organization which supports Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Friends and AHC are dedicated to improving the health and future of Cambodia's children by providing pediatric medical care and medical education."
