Bar hopping on New years Eve

Hey everyone it's Sissy and Tegan
Almost come to the end of our trip and to top it off we were bar hopping in Siem Reap on New Years Eve on Pub Street ... Yeah! Had a bit of a crazy night, chockablock with people everywhere dancing and on the charge. Sissy let the hair down and was whipping it back and forth (typical). To shame Andy Pandy, Sue , Mich and Sis all got their small dancing moves out! Of course he just walked away and denied ever knowing them - hilarious! Great night, we all made it to 12 and watched the fire works in the pool at the Golden Banana.
As we write this we are sitting in the lobby of the Royal Hotel in Bangkok, after a good three hours of shopping on Khao San Road spending our last baht on presents. We are done with this great holiday and are awaiting our taxi to take us to the airport to catch our 9hr flight to home. No one wanted this holiday to end but at the same time we are all excited to get home! :)

Cambodia is the land of small groovey bars-in Sydney opening a small bar is akin to curing cancer. The Khmers just throw a few cushions and fairy lights around and they're in business. Love their work.
