In this podcast episode, we recount our journey through Siem Reap, Cambodia. We began with a luxurious stay at the Sabara Angkor Hotel and Spa, followed by a lively exploration of Pub Street. Despite some travel frustrations, we found joy in visiting Apopo, where African giant pouch rats are trained to detect landmines.
Our day continued with a visit to the Made in Cambodia Market, where we admired and supported local artisans. We concluded with preparations for our visit to the Angkor Wat temples, reflecting on the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship we encountered along the way.
