Goodbye Vietnam

We have now left Vietnam and are in Cambodia. Our last day in Vietnam was amazing! We had breakfast just after my entry this morning, some of us a bit hung over but we had some champagne which settled what needed settling. Our guide, Tien, came to fetch us at 9:00 for our motorcycle ride through the streets of Saigon. The naming is very similar to Tswane and Pretoria, the inner city is still called Saigon but the district around the city is called Ho Chi Minh City, anyway back to the motorbik...

Temples in the Khmer Empire

An early start to a day scheduled to visiting temples. We started off with Angkor Thom - it is huge and has a moat around it, not to keep people out but to supply water to the worshipers. We first went on an elephant ride around the temple. The last time I was on an elephant was in Zambia and he kept trying to shake me off, so I was really not too comfortable but glad I went in the end. The temple was probably the size of a city back them but as far as I can remember nobody ever lived in the ...

Last Day

We visited my favourite temple Bantay Srei or The Temple of Woman, this temple is smaller than the others and is made out of pink sandstone which is much harder than the yellow sandstone, which means it is much better preserved. There were a lot of tourists here mostly Japanese, it was the first time that I felt a bit too touristy on this trip. We saw a very old Japanese lady who still travels actively at the age of 87, it is now my goal to do this too! After the Bantrey Srei we went for lunc...

Birthday at the Temples

Well Happy Birthday to me in Cambodia...The weather today looked a little iffy...possible rain..After breakfast at the hotel we loaded up in the car and headed for Banteay Srey; a temple complex located about 37km from Siem Reap..shortly after leaving town it started raining and by looking outside it was getting muddy fast. The trip took close to an hour to arrive at the temple complex, we had a couple checkpoints to go through and the road didn't have the best grade to it..This temple was ve...

Concluding our day at Angkor Wat

... across the stones. At another, the roof caved in, and there was a broken Buddha at the top of the pile. We climbed around and found a pile of incense, and each of us grabbed a stick. One other temple had steep and worn steps that Elise climbed and couldn&#8217;t get down. In the end, Dad carried her down. As you can see, every temple had a new adventure in store, and there were some things all had ...

I Left Cambodia and Lived to Tell this Story

... do you want to be when you grow up?" and I got the same answers, as if these children were somehow programmed. It was mostly, "I have no money to go to school right now" and them wanting to be tour guides when they got older. The children who sell things are mostly around ages 4-10 and once they turn 12, many of them become sex workers. I read in a pamphlet at the hostel that 30-35% of all sex workers in the nation were aged 12-17 and this is definitely believeable. Girls ...

Amazing Angkor

... forever craning their necks to see what towers before them. Further still, you may exit the rear of the wat and stroll through a wooded area that extends as far as the eye can see. We decide to walk the exterior of the building and view the intricate reliefs carved into the outer walls of the building. This stretch of wall, known to be the longest continuous relief in the world, depict ...
