cambodia day 1:part 2 - 7/12/07

*warning: pix overload. please be patient while the pix is loading*

ok.. back to part 2.. after our heavy lunch.. we went to tonle sap lake, the biggest lake in asia.. but the place is really really poor.. only one lane available for bus to goto the jetty and then we transfered to a boat.. along all the way there're so many atap houses which no electricity and they used the water from the lake *yuks* very very poor.. was so sad to look at the kids living there..

and then we stopped at one of the boat house..

and then all the kids are trying to approach us for money.. and they pose for the camera some more.. so pity..

it's such a touching scene when i saw the poor kids living around tonle sap lake.. makes me realise that i'm so lucky that i have nice food to eat, nice place to stay, even all nice clothes i have.. shouldn't waste so much of money anymore :(

after leaving the sad place, we were brought to a jewel stone shop.. that place not allowed to take pix.. and their stones are so much expensive then the others.. so we just stay there for a short while..

and then.. the horror.. for day 1 only, we went to see the sunset of angkor wat.. when we were there was so packed.. takes around 15-20 minutes to climb up to the hill just for the sunset.. extremely tired.. but all is worth it.. althought sweating and leg pains.. keke.. and the stairs was very very narrow.. if u fall down everyone will fall down aso.. must extra careful..

and finally.. i saw the 'egg'

here's the shots from my colleague.. only 2 minutes the sun dissapear!

before head down to the bus.. and the sky turns real dark..

so it takes another 15-20 minutes to climb down to the hill again.. and even more dangerous.. cause the sky turns dark very fast and some even turn on the torch light..

then our dinner time.. super duper hungry.. cause used a lot of energy climbing up and down.. we were entertained by their cultural dance..

not forgetting to mention is buffet again.. gosh.. eat non-stop.. some more so tired.. and we went to night market! keke.. i also dunno where's my energy come from.. and after the night market we have to walk back to hotel! crazy i tell u.. whole day walk non-stop ady..

when back to hotel that time, i quickly go and bath and sleep! have to wake up early morning the next day for angkor wat! horror! walk again!

so stay tune for day 2.. u'll see many stones.. wahaha..
