Spider Man's tuk tuk

Just a quick little story about the rest of our first evening in Siem Reap.

Daniel saw these signs for banana and chocolate pancakes. So on our way back to our tuk tuk guy we stopped and got one. They were made with dough, stretched out thin, and then had sliced banana and chocolate syrup. Yummy. Very Yummy.




 So while we were waiting for the pancake to be finished, this guy comes up behind my mother-in-law and whispers "you want to ride in spider man's tuk tuk?" in this deep accented voice. She was kind of shocked and slowly began walking away. Come to find out, two nights later, they have used icons like batman, spider man and other pop culture things to attract people to their own tuk tuks. Awesome, I know. Even better when you know my mother-in-law. It's one of the best stories from that trip.
Our tuk tuk driver that evening was awesome. for 8$ he took us, waited for us, and took us back to the hotel.
