Only in Asia

It's funny how when you really need the impossible, Asia has a way of delivering!

We were walking back to our guest house late on our last night in Siem Reap. We had an early morning flight to Vientiane, Laos the next morning. On our way home, I remembered that we still needed to get a passport photo made for Gwen so she could get her Laos visa. It was about 9:30pm at the time and most shops were well and truly closed for the night.

Whilst we were figuring out our options we managed to stumble upon one shop that was still open (for reasons still unknown to me) and the staff agreed they would do the photos (after checking their watches). They directed us to the back of the store, where I assumed there would be an area to do the shot. There was instead the staircase up. Confused we climbed up 2 stories and into a full blown photo studio!

In there, with all the lighting we both had some photos done. And what was even funnier was the staff later proceeded to photoshop the images to ensure we appeared at our very best!
