We woke up very early to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. When we got there it was almost completely dark, but there were already groups of tourists all around. Nevertheless, our guide somehow always managed to keep us at a distance from the crowds. Little by little, the outline of the lotus-shaped prangs of Angkor Wat started to appear against the dark sky. Unfortunately, the morning was cloudy and we could not really see the sun, but it still was very mystical and interesting experience t...

Today we split in two groups. Maya and Mihaela opted for the comfort of airtravel and flew with Bangkok Airways to Siem Reap. The rest 3 of us decided not to pay 200 usd for a 40 min journey and embarked on the longer and more adventurous overland track. Armed with e-visas and a detailed description of the way from www.talesofasia.com we got up at 4:30 am to catch the 6 am bus to the border. It was a comfortable 4:15-4:30 min ride, and most of the time we were sleeping. We directly loaded our...

We continued our temple tour, starting in the morning with Preah Khan, built again by Jayavaraman 7th but dedicated to his father, then Neak Pean, which is very different to other Angkor temples, as it does not have towers, but pools instead - people used to wash themselves of sins there. At one point we were discussing that it would be interesting to see Tonle Sap Lake and we asked our guide about it and he immediately offered to take us in the afternoon if we would like. He said it is very ...

... They follow you screaming "3 dollaah for bracelet", and we were warned that if we buy from one kid we'd be targeted by the rest. Totally upsetting that some the kids were only about 4 years old. But we were fit for snapping by noon - just too much to deal with so we headed home.<br><br>Heading to Bar Street tonight (highly innovative name). And travelling by boat tomorrow to Cambodian capital PhnomPehn.<br><br>x<br><br><br><br><br> <br>

... seeing the root causes of the grim poverty that grips this nation. <br><br>The first offical day of temple visiting started early. We woke up at 4:00 AM in order to get to the park in time to see the sunrise. The first temple we visited was the most famous one: Angkor Wat. Arriving there in the middle of the night in complete darkness was quite eerie. The uneven steps and enormous statues seemed like they were about to swallow me whole. Unfortunately, it was raining ...

... on the Angkor complex - Ta Prohm - the obvious inspiration for the Indiana Jones movies. In the depths of a dense jungled area, Ta Prohm sits scattered about - blocks of moss covered sandstone lie in mounds, broken statues, many with severed heads, lean toppled over. Most astounding however, are the enormous banyan trees towering above the structure, their roots crawling and seeping over ...

... concentration where I was determined to get a good photo not caring about anyone around me or what they were doing (I'lll admit it's incredibly selfish, but in this instance I was thinking of myself and the pictures I could take alone lol!). I darted about like an excited otter dodging tripods and Frenchmen with camcorders in order to take silouettes, twilight shots, reflection shots as the light slowly rose. I ended up taking about 100 photos ...

... problems that show up some hours later, I stick to my resolution of spending the next three days visiting the temples. And I survive. I survive to the fever and the stomach problems (although my desperate runs to the toilette carefully mimetic among jungle trees are worth broadcasting live worldwide). I survive the dozens and dozens of temples I visit (at the end of the third day I don't distinguish a rock from a column, I can't appreciate ...
