I just came back from my holiday in Siem Reap and there is only one word can describe my feeling about this place...and the word is awesome.
We departed from Penang on 25th Nov and have a night stay at LCCT, KL. The journey to Siem Reap started off on 26th Nov early morning. After 2 hours flight, we reached our destination. The moment that we step out from the flight, we were welcome by the local people and the wind. I felt like flying.
Then we proceeded to the place that we will stay for the next 4 days. As told by the staff there, we will be given one cup of ice lemon tea, 20 minutes free massage and free flow bananas....and they keep mention they are FREE. So, we took the ice lemon tea and straight awat go for our lunch. The lunch is just so nice and yummy. After that, we went for our free massage. Damn cool! Well, it is a good idea to go for a sleep after the massage so we take a nap. Then, we went for the sunset. This is the first sunset that we went for but somehow it was quite disappointing as it was too clouded. Anyway, we still enjoy ourselves by taking photos and make fun around. We went for our dinner at Dead Fish, an established restaurant in Siem Reap. The food is nice but we prefer the one we took during our lunch. We sleep quite early as we will go for the sunrise the next day.
27th Nov. We took the van to Angkor Wat for our sunrise at 4:30a.m. When we reached there, the sky is still dark and we hardly see anything. While waiting for the sunrise, we search for the best place to see the sunrise, adjusting the camera and play around. The sun start to rise and I was amazed. My friends always ask me, between sunrise and sunset, which one I prefer most and my answer is always the SUNRISE. Sunrise give me hopes and it's a signature if a brand new day. We went around the Angkor Wat and all other temples for the second day. We had late lunch and late dinner on that day because the scenery is just too attractive and we just can't help ourselves from falling in love with the places. Well, everyone were tired so we didn't go for sunset.
28th Nov. We continue our journey with the rest of the temples. I was not feeling well on this day so I had missed 2 places. Gosh! Anyway, I am still amazed with the great carving. Fortunately, I managed to recover. 29th Nov is the birthday for one of the travel group and we planned to give her a surprise. Our plan is to go to one of the pub in pub street then two of us go and get a cake for her.
29th Nov. The places that we went to for te last day in Siem Reap were War Museum, Tonle Sap and Cultural Village. We started off the day with the War Museum. We listened to the story from a guy working there. He was almost crying then he has to stop from telling....and I cry. We finished the day in Cultural Village.
We left Siem Reap on 30th Nov.
This is definitely a fabulous trip for me...with fabulous travel group. And for those who never been there, Cambodia is a great place to travel and you will get the chance to obtain some valuable experience. Last but not least, you can see how lucky you are.
Cambodia....wonderful place, great people and nice food.
To my travel group, thanks for everything. I had so much fun with you girls and looking forward for our next trip.
