Sun set ; sun rise We miss the sun set... so sad...Heavy rain poured and affect our schedule. We almost miss sun rise as our fren, driver pick us late. The tour guide and driver is very nervous and worry, we have to console them that we are fine even though we miss the sun rise. The driver "drive" trishaw very fast & tour guide, Vanna walks super fast and "force" us to take photos from the angle, location and posture that he commanded. It sound very strange. We just follow their pace and fulfill their will to serve. Hundreds of people waiting at the best location. Some of the luxury trip tourist entitle to sit which provided by hotel @ travel agency. During photo session, a lot of ugly faces turns up, many of them fight for best angle to take photos and didn;t move their ass away. Some of them are extremely ridiculous, they just stand there!!! Are they transparent?Are they grow up with eating glass? Dun be surprise, most of them are Europeans.
War museum: After two days of non-stop temples site visit, it become less excited. We decided go to War Museum. Well, it just another "tourist spot". It pretty simple, displaying some of the old tankers, weapons and some photos. War Museum guide is an ex-soldier , a victim from civil war. He keep telling us that his wife was passed away two weeks ago, he needs more SUPPORT. This hint you shall give more tips. It was very irritating and out of generosity, I gave him USD1.00 He stare at me and try to show pity face again to us...Sorry, mate. U deserve what you contribute.Anyhow, we have a great time overtime when the guide was not around, imagine myself become superhero in Command & Conquer...
Transport: A unique view, more than 90% car on the roads were Toyota. Our driver picked us via Toyota Camry at airport ( nothing special, right), then he went home and ride a motorbike to our guest house. Cambodian is very innovative, they create a connector and attached a trishaw on motorbike. The driving speed is slow 30-40 kmph which is good enough for us to sightseeing beautiful street view. Unfortunately, SiemReap street is very dusty ( similar with Mumbai, Bombay), pls be advised to wear mask.
During the temple visit, to satisfy our wish-to-be royal family dream, we had an elephant ride from the main gate. Assuming all the visitors are the peasants and welcoming and celebrate our arrival. Many passers-by take photo, we have to show our diplomatic skills and wave our hands like prince and princess...hahahaha
Too many beautiful photos need to share with you all, had made a clip with Khmer traditional music.Kind advise: if you are not keen on history, religions ,architecture and hate outdoors. Angkor is not the right place for you.
