In dieser Stadt wohne ich an einem Ort, wo sich die Nachbarn noch am Dorfbrunnen waschen, die dreckige Wäsche von Hand geschrubt wird und Licht luxus ist. Stromausfall ist hier keine Seltenheit und meine Dusche ist auch mehr Zierde, so dass ich mich wie viele Einheimische "dusche", mit einem Eimer Wasser und einer Schöpfkelle. (Kaltes Wasser bin ich mir ja nun seit einem halben Jahr gewohnt *smile*). Das Holzhaus ist sehr schön, hat viele Ritzen und Löcher, sodass man alles was rings ums Haus und in den Nachbarhäusern geschieht mitbekommt, den Geräuschen der Tiere lauschen kann, aber auch die laute Musik der Hochzeiten und der Beerdigungen mitbekommt.
Ja Siem Reap, eine besondere Stadt die dank Ankor Wat weltberühmt wurde, ansonsten wohl kaum einen Touristen interessieren würde.
Siem Reap is a town with a lot of contrasts. Hotels, where you can spend 1000 dollar per night and people, who live on the streets. Lots of workers own between 2 till 5 dollars a day and some others make a fortune. In the pub street and Ankor Wat are millions of tourists a year and as soon you go into some small side streets, you meet only locals.
In this city I live at a place, where the shower of the neigbors is the village well. The dirty cloths they clean by hand and electrisity can't be taken for granted. Power loss happens weekly. I have a shower, but most of the time there is no water, which means I "shower" like most of the locals; a bucket with water and a scoop. (I don't mind the cold water anymore, I'm used to it since half a year now). The wodden house where I can stay is very nice. The wall's have lots of holes and gaps, that's why I hear everything what going on outside the house. I hear the animals, now when people use the squeaky water pump and I can listen to the loud (and sometimes annoying) music of a wedding or a funeral.
Yes, Siem Reap is a special city, thanks to Ankor Wat world-famous. I bet otherwise no tourist would be interested in this city in the north of Cambodia.
