Siem Reap, Cambodia

At take about 6 hours from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap by bus. But Airasia fly direct from Kuala Lumpur to Siem Reap too. By taking bus, you can really see the scenery of the Cambodia..... The house, the people, farming. The poverty. Is a real eye opener, once you been there. What we worried of what shirt to wear and what to buy, never come to their mind cos they are fighting for food. They worried about will there be food to eat tomorrow......

Alternative of bus, there are ferry too. but only when the tide are high....or else your ferry will stuck on the mud until the next tide......mmmm not very fun
You can get different view from the ferry. How they utilized the river for EVERYTHING. Yes, I mean everything.......

We took a local tour there. 3 days and 2 nights. which include food and accommodation and also the ticket to enter.....

1) Cannot remember the name, but they told us to this temple where the Tomb Raider by Angelina Jolie was shoot there......see the magnificent trees and the roots......










2) Most famous Angkor Wat.....
can you see the amount of tourist....

Few things that really impress me:
a) the high rise that those people can built just with stone
2) The carving on the stone. will show you below...
