Our tuk tuk which has been working hard in ferrying us around Siem Reap.
Our tuk tuk driver, Pilot.
Siem Reap worth all the sore, blisters and sunburn. After returning home, the images of the temples will be lingering in mind. Plus, after reading the book of Ancient Angkor, Lucyriver realize that there are things that we had missed and overlooked. The next time we are to be there, Lucyriver promise that there will be no camera. Just the heart of wanting to savour the whole magnificent temple city with eyes.On the other hand, seeing some of the poverty especially of young children having to work to support their life and family really tears your heart out. The thought of not being able to go to school is unbearable. Hopefully in coming time, Cambodia would become a much better place.
All the time we were in Siem Reap, we met all kind of people. Perhaps due to differences in culture and understanding of context, we get to experience some amusing performances of the locals and even the foreigners as well.
If it's something heart-fluttering, we keep it in our heart.
If it's something heart-clenching, we throw it far away and forget it.
Goodbye , Angkor Wat. We hope you will stand strong to meet us again.
i decided to comment in the last page after viewing all..very well-written indeed!! Well, the trip is not that expensive,but without much read-ups beforehand,sometimes it's abit clueless walking around the many temples, only able to appreciate the carvings on the surface without digesting the history. Anyway, it was an interesting and enjoyable trip, and is recommended for those who love historical builts and appreciate stone carvings. One more thing..if u want to go shopping in large departmental store, u won't find one in Siem Reap, as yet..hehe
ReplyDeleteDear thewindintheweelows,
ReplyDeleteYou are right...reading the history of the temples(which sylviaorange told lucyriver to do but didn't, regret now) before going is definitely more fulfilling and helping in understanding when visiting the temples, unless you plan to hire a local guide.
As for large shopping store, wonder if The Museum Mall counts or not...hehehe...
