You turn around in Siem Reap and who should you see?

I went for breakfast this morning to a french/khmer cafe that has a very flash upstairs area (not what im used to at all!)



It is all white, with wifi connection (not that it help me) and very comfy couches to lounge on and hide from the killer heat.


Im having my food when some kids and a dad come through the door, i think i know them but.....
then the mum comes through and it turns out to be my best mate jasons's older sister (well not too old!) we make a scene and spend the next wee while chatting, im off to their flash hotel for my first HOT shower in a month (dont laugh, its warm here and i do shower everyday!)


We will use the flash hotel pool they have and Mr j will have some luxury for a bit!

YAY

Is it just me or does the fact that the staff are all dressed in a black top and baggy black pants with a red apron/scarf around their waist seem like bad taste? The Khmer Rouge who did such terrible things in this country only 30 years ago had that very same uniform?!

Maybe it is because the cafe is only used by expats (its too expensive for your average Khmer)

Maybe im being judgemental but ....
