Our knowledge of the free internet cafes in Siem Reap meant we passed the final hours trying to find a nice hotel for Delhi. Going by the reviews on TripAdvisor.com, it’s not an easy task, but we picked one that didn’t mention cockroaches or dirty sheets and hoped for the best.
Our trusty tuktuk driver dropped us off to catch our Bangkok Airways flight with asia’s boutique airline, whatever that means. As we’re heading for our final country soon, it’s starting to feel like we are going home, and to prepare we bought the book “Dos and don’ts for the United Kingdom”. It’s full of useful advice to prepare us for the culture shock that is the UK: car headlights flashing means both “I’m coming” and “you first”, don’t stand on the toilet (or at least don’t leave footprints on the seat), and the gem “don’t blow your nose into your hands and wipe it on the wall”. I’ll miss Asia…
We only had a night to kill in Bangkok before our flight to Delhi, so we’d found a cheap (£12) airport hotel, and so were convinced we had the wrong hotel when we were met by smartly dressed porters at the airport and taken to one of the nicer rooms we’ve stayed in. To top it all, there was free wifi!
