Poem - Something Snapped

{I write when I travel, sometimes poetry, here's just some things}

Something snapped. It gave way - felt the pressure as everything collided failing under the weight of itself.

Stretched beyond strength incapable of supporting the disappointment that had eluded all aims. It was broken and needed to be repaired, to regain its place built on the existing foundations to make a bigger and better support network dissolving all tears and massaging all strains in hope it won't snap again

Why when buying on GroupOn you need to be careful

EFT: There needs to be a distinction between retail and travel flash sale sites since travel is a far more complex purchase. Any thoughts?
AT: The main challenges are educating consumers to read all fine print thoroughly prior to purchase to avoid dissatisfaction and also sufficient training for hotel ground staff so every guest is being well looked after.

***So remember to read the fine print, you may find you might not get what you think you are buying

Siem Reap: Night, Shopping, Bars & a gay scene

Siem Reap is a buslting little town within a country that has been torn apart in so many ways. Making its living from the tourism and Angkor Wat Temples, it has moved on leaps and bounds to the palm tree villages that surround it. 

The town has a night market where you can buy local arts and crafts, including t-shirts designed by locals that use the temples and Cambodian culture for inspiration. Pub Street is exactly that and reminds me of the tourist towns of Spain - Benidorm comes to mind.

There is also a gay scene, while small - just one bar called Linga, it also has a Spa (Linga Spa) and a hotel by the name of River Queen. This new guest house only opened in November and has done better than expected in the first year. The Australian/European couple bought the property to invest in their future and totally refurbished the crumbling building. The top deck sports three jacuzzis and a bar, each room has an ensuite, television, safe and air-conditioning, with some delux rooms offering a balcony. Breakfast is included, and wifi, and on the ground floor they have a bar.

Siem Reap really is Old  meets New
