Temple Driver

Snake is my driver as we explore the many temples of Siem Reap. Today we are heading on a 2 day trip to temples further out in Cambodia. For me it is a chance to get to know Cambodia, beyond the lovely and tourist oriented Siem Reap. Snake knows his country well and speaks great english with a British accent. He worries about it because the guides make better pay if they speak with an American accent.
I wonder about this because in the 10+ days that I have been traveling I've seen only 2 American visitors. Most of the tourists that I've seen are from France, Austria, or Sri Lanka.
