A pregnant woman board the crowded bus (after a few stops) and happen to stand infront of a guy that was seated. He seems engrossed with his iPad playing mahjong and was 'unaware' of the pregnant woman standing infront. The lady move further down the aisle (3 seats away from the guy) when other people alight. This time, an Indian lady who was listening to ipod saw her and quickly give up her seat to the pregnant woman. Right at the moment when the pregnant lady took the seat, the guy raise his head and take a glance before returning to his game. What does that hint to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(A) He happen to stretch his neck and coincidentally turn and look towards that pregnant lady 3 seats away from him?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(B) He is unaware of the surrounding as he was too engrossed with his mahjong&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(C) He needs that seat so that he can hold his iPad and further more he is not occupying the priority seat unlike the Indian lady.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, I hope he trip and fall when he alight from his bus and broke his stupid iPad.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-2525691169256998817?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/2525691169256998817/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=2525691169256998817' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/2525691169256998817'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/2525691169256998817'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2011/03/why-are-you-like-that.html' title='Why are you like that?'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-4931922416776613750</id><published>2007-09-23T10:47:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2007-09-23T10:47:55.241+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Angel Horse Teochew Fish Soup</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jokertan/1425279427/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1245/1425279427_aeb2734ad0_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jokertan/1425279427/"&gt;Angel Horse Teochew Fish Soup&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jokertan/"&gt;jokertan&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The store is located at Bugis FC.

As pre-planned,walk 15 minutes from the house to the Jurong East Stadium to catch the 04.30am shuttle service. Along the way, saw a senior guy taking a walk in the cool morning. Why is he not in bed? Seems like older folks dun sleep that much..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I board the bus, I was immediately greeted by OP &amp; Freddy. OP was all ready for a fun and enjoyable run. Freddy look tired, perhaps the newborn is keeping him away from his sleep? Tried to catch some Zzz on the bus but cannot. Simply just too hype up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we arrived next to the Padang, we quickly locate the mobile toilets to release our 'anxiety'. Hmm, after 3 minues of effort. I give up. The feeling is just not there. :-( Came out and OP &amp;amp; Freddy is no way to be found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then at the bend next to the War Memorial, found OP, Stalza &amp; Shortlegs? Hmm, memory a bit blur. Maybe have not wake up. ;-) Then we proceed to meet up with the rest of the SGRunners.Wah, they good hor, manage to 'grab' a tentage for SGRunners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait for me, wait for me! Just in time to join in for the photo taking session. Then the group started to chit chat, some break off to deposit the barang barang and others just do their warmup. Most of us proceed to the starting lineup. Along the way, saw Doraemon, 'Swoop' and Fennel. But then .. when at the starting lineup, we lost sight of the rest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the flag off time slowly crawls through the remaining 5 minutes, anxiety builds up. I started to have 'feeling'. Oh man, bad timing. Tell my body to shutup (Hee hee, Richy's advice). So upon flag off, Doraemon and myself started off and whisking through the togs of runners to find our pace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along Marina South, I am suprise that my 'pah ciao' eyes can spot two mobile toilets. I dash in and do my small business. Wah arh ... shiok ... For me, the race then begins. Speed up a bit to catch up with Doraemon. Not sure after running how far then I manage to spot the red monster. I keep telling myself to focus and tail after Doraemon. Saw many runners along the way, Ultra zoom pass. Time and distant whisked by, soon we reached our 12km refuel point. First pack of GU gel down, 3 more to go. As we turn out from Marina South and continue back to Esplanade, I just couldn't believe the weather was so good! Keep reminding myself not to say it aloud for fear that the weather may just change for the worst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the way, Terence caught up and we ran alongside for a while. At ECP we took our second refuel. After running a while, I got a *poop* feeling. :-( Was lucky to spot the toilets on the right and I dashed in to do my big business. Finally after wasting precious time, I'm ready to chong! Nothing is going to side track me this time! Tried to catch up to Doraemon again but after skipping two water points, I still cannot spot her. Ha ha, di I overtake her? Fat hope. Just before the turning point at the Lagoon, spoted her going strong towards it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inch by inch, foot by foot, I manage to close the gap until two steps behind her. Because my stride is longer than hers, eventually, I ran alongside and give her the thumbs up signal. She signal back. Great run! After the lagoon, I spoted TLR and trailed after him. Doraemon did the same. I planned to get the sponge and the deep heat at the 30km support station.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally reach the support station! I was feeling so wasted. Grap the sponge and spray the deep heat on my shoulder, knees and thighs. Doraemon just whizzed pass and I quickly left the pit stop. Play catchup again. Down the third pack of GU gel maybe in 32km?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step by step, metres by metres, km by km, we hit the Kallang Stadium trailing after TLR. At the water point, I took my last pack of GU gel and apply the deep heat. That is the point where I lose sight of TLR. Spot DR with the orange tee at 39km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Esplanade bridge, sgrunners' runspirator Bee shouted my name* and I give her a thumbs up. Then a photographer friend spotted me and shouted my name as well. Suprise suprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I summon my last ounce of energy to sprint the last 195m. When I was about to cross the finish line, saw the timing 03:56:?? Clenched my fists and raised my hands. YES!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the past few marathons, I do not need to get a bottle of water to cool my head. I walk around to catch back my breath. As I walk back to the finish line, spotted Doraemon being helped by the organisers. Uh oh. I quickly walked over to her to ask what was wrong. Apparently she had strained her shoulders for the last 195m. Took a rest at the side and then she recovered and we went in to de-chipped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We met quite a number of the SGRunners on the way to the baggage counter. When we assembled at the War Memorial for a photo shot, the rain started to drizzle. Took a few shots and we parted ways. Doraemon, Doraemon's supporter, 'Swoop', Fennel and myself went over to Suntec swimming pool for bath and swim. Basically for me, it's poop time and hot shower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With our bodies refreshed after bath and swim for Doraemon &amp;amp; Swoop. We had lunch at the NUS Guild House. Thanks to Doraemon for giving us a treat! Yummy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After lunch, 'Swoop' and Fennel went jalan jalan. Doraemon and myself just board the shuttle bus to City Hall. Simply too aching to walk through City Link. :-) Unfortunately for Doraemon, she had to go back to office to finish up some work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally reach home around 4 plus ...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* actually I did not spot Bee. Only when I heard the voice, then I know who and roughly where she is. Same goes to my photographer friend.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-116523790554101798?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/116523790554101798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=116523790554101798' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116523790554101798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116523790554101798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2006/12/scsm-2006.html' title='SCSM 2006'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-116454886325912465</id><published>2006-11-26T21:29:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-26T21:47:43.273+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Feet/ Evanescence - The Open Door</title><content type='html'>Catch the movie &lt;a href="http://www2.warnerbros.com/happyfeet/"&gt;Happy Feet&lt;/a&gt; with my running friends today.

They did a 15-20km run this morning. After the brunch, I accompanied them to the Race Expo @ Suntec to collect the race pack. I collect mine the night before so I just recheck the booth again. I was approached by a auntie asking whether I need the Spagetti pack in the Race Pack. Apparently, she and another woman was going around asking for people who dun wan the spagetti pack. They had a trolley full of it! To me, they dun seem to be doing charity collection..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, end up engrossed with the youngster playing 3 on 3 at the other end of the hall.

Was planning this hiking route so that I can help a friend train up for his Nepal trip in early November. Guess too late liao.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, SGRunners met up at Lower Pierce Reservoir (LPR) toilet at 7am. DR give a short briefing and off we go! First toilet break is at Seletar Reservoir (near the tower). Then we took a shortcut through Nee Soon Range across bart wire and forested area. Poor DO and some of the advance party that was leading the way encounter soft grounds. We had to backtrack to the fork and go the other way (right). Along the way, there is this big pipe on the left. So that will be one of the markers. Erh ... after that I think I am shag out to remember liao. But I'm familiar with the part from Macritche to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. So probably I need to do a hike by myself and do some marking. Hit the visitor centre in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, took the much anticipated break stop to refuel and went back the way we came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along the way back at SICC, met a colleague with her family taking a nature walk. Last 5km went by quite quickly and we reach our end point. Total distance 30+ km over roughly 4hr15mins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do a quick warm down, shower and went over to Sembawang hill for makan. Was hoping to get Kuay Chup but already sold out! Then I chance upon Lor Mee! Did not give a second thought and I ordered it. :-) Next time, I'm going to get the Kuay Chup, Carrot Cake or the Fried Kuay Teow.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-116169210111777362?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/116169210111777362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=116169210111777362' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116169210111777362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116169210111777362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2006/10/mardi-gras-run.html' title='Mardi Gras Run'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-116169136190863849</id><published>2006-10-23T19:48:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-24T20:02:41.936+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Company Declared Holiday</title><content type='html'>What do you do on a company declared holiday?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I go gym loh.

Taste so so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2812.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2812.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Then another office call, so end up returning to office.

Actually did not sleep much, only fall asleep after 2 plus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Took the cab at 4am and reach Lower Pierce Reservoir (LPR) carpark with 15mins buffer to warm up and clear the bowel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start at 4:50am and follow Broken Runner's pace all the way. The route is nice. We turn into Seletar Reservoir route as what Doraemon suggested. Did not go all the way to the zoo gate. At the junction we U-turn back, it's about 12km at that spot. Pace is around 6 - 6.30 min/km.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2749.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2749.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2744.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2744.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were slightly late when we got back to LPR. The group was already waiting to start off the wedding run. I quickly grab the videocam and start shooting. Although suppose to be a leisure run but it's still quite siong. We had a break for water melon and rock melon. Do some photo shooting for the couple and went back to LPR. The couple had a memorable day with lots of fun and laughter (mainly from Andy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the runners had to run their errands and had to leave after the activity. The remaining went over to Sembawang Hill Food Centre to have a quick bite. I order the Bakuteh and is so so, passable. The carrot cake smells very good but I resist the temptation to order. Maybe next time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2773.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2773.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Took a ride from Cookie (with Cfred and Cosmic Wind) to Novena. Tag along Cfred to check out the Addidas store. Then at MRT we split on to our way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I head towards Toa Payoh where my friend is staying. Arrive way too early, around 12pm, and the couple had yet to get back. So I try to nap at the void deck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the couple was back, they give me a wake up call and I went up. Took a quick shower and started to take pictures of the baby, the gifts, the fish tank, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2788.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2788.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;By 3.30pm, most of the guests had arrived.

It's like stuck and that irritates me as it will lead to my body heating up.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-116092416536455640?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/116092416536455640/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=116092416536455640' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116092416536455640'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116092416536455640'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2006/10/esplanade-run.html' title='Esplanade Run'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-116079836734073622</id><published>2006-10-14T11:52:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T12:00:43.336+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kopi II</title><content type='html'>12 days without coffee!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-116079836734073622?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/116079836734073622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=116079836734073622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116079836734073622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116079836734073622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2006/10/kopi-ii.html' title='Kopi II'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-116066960530028202</id><published>2006-10-13T00:11:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-13T00:13:25.313+08:00</updated><title type='text'>513</title><content type='html'>Of no reason, I simply like Friday the 13th.&lt;br /&gt;And also of no reason, I simply hate the day after it..&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31642847-116066960530028202?l=jokertan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/feeds/116066960530028202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31642847&amp;postID=116066960530028202' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116066960530028202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31642847/posts/default/116066960530028202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jokertan.blogspot.com/2006/10/513.html' title='513'/><author><name>jokertan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01211517442806138688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31642847.post-116063725213356174</id><published>2006-10-12T15:04:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-12T15:14:12.143+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Dinner at KRGH on 20061011</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/1600/DSCF2629_resize.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7092/3437/320/DSCF2629_resize.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did not know there's a dress code at KRGH.

It's a guided tour to Angkor Wat and some other temple sites. The guide also squeese in a visit to the temple of the overgrown trees that was shown in the movie, Tomb Raider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, I had some stupid thing to relate for this trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It started off with a slight flu when I woke up in the morning of the departure day. And then I miscalculated the time it took me to airport via public transport. My flight was 8.40am and I arrived at the checkin counter at 8.05am. The airport staff initially told me the checkin was closed. But after I mention I can hand carry my luggage, he help me to check with his supervisor. Finally got clearance but he mention no meals.* Well, meals or no meals I'm still going to catch this flight. So he process my boarding pass and is pen written because the system already closed. He then escort me to the security gate personally. After a breeze clearance at the security, I started to double up towards the boarding gate. Phew!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And during the trip, one sad thing happen, my camera went low battery after taking 450+ photos. Strange! I remember charging it fully and in the past, it should at least last me three days. And worst off is I did not bring the charger or get a spare battery. Luckily I manage to take most of the pictures at Angkor Wat, so did not lose much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, I came back with the flu and the cough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, the trip was enjoyable. Seam Reap is a pretty small place, many of the places are still rural. The place is quite safe for you to walk around even in the night. But as tourism is growing, the standard of living also went higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jokertan/sets/72157594309071784/"&gt;spoils&lt;/a&gt; from the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Later then I realised that another colleague arrived 5 minutes later and was not allow to checkin!
