Day 17 - Bangkok, Thailand

Today we flew from Siem Reap back to Bangkok in order to make our flight home.  We wandered around a bit at a local market and then got lunch at a rather unique Thai eatery named "Cabbages and Condoms."  The restaurant is run by a non-profit to promote and raise money for family planning and safe sex (Thailand's population is increasing rapidly with an average of 7 children per family, and HIV is significant problem).  Lunch was good, but we particularly liked the "sculptures" on the patio.

In the afternoon, we took a nap and rested (we had both been afflicted mildly with what Brian deemed "Pol Pot's revenge).  In the evening we hit Bangkok's best Mexican restaurant (and it was pretty good), but got stuck in bad traffic on the way home.  What should have been a quick taxi ride took over 30 minutes, not helped by our taxi driver's reluctance to put on his glasses to correctly read our hotel address.  Additionally, halfway through the ride, he took out an orange and started eating it with what can only be described as the loudest, most smackey, lip smacking I have ever experienced.  

Then we got up at 2:30am to make our 5am, 20 hour flight home!
