Our full story is at http://isis-journey.blogspot.com/2008/0 1/cambodia-5th-9th-december-2007.html (This entry continues from the Phnom Penh trip) 7th DEC 2007~ Early in the morning, we headed for Siem Reap by bus. A 6-hour journey from Phnom Penh. The country side was very dusty and the road was very narrow. We crossed a lot of pond and wood houses. We stopped nearby some streets for a rest and toilets. I saw people selling fried insects nearby the market. ... One of the most weird looking f...

After seeing the last of the in-country team from The Cambodia Project leave Phnom Penh on Thursday I found it time to head out myself. The team had wrapped up its work after more than two months in Cambodia and I was in touch with Jean-Michel up to the end finishing last minute details on Thursday afternoon. Friday morning, I packed up my backpack, leaving my suitcase at my Phnom Penh hotel, and walked over to my friend Benny's place. Then we headed over to catch our bus to Siem Reap. Six ho...

We arrived in Siem Reap airport early at 7:05am. Getting through customs and immigration here was quite a chore involving filling out many, many forms. A declaration form, an arrival form, a departure form, 2 separate visa application, documentation of flight from Singapore and providing a passport photo. While the customs officer was processing and stamping our visa and passport, I counted at least 6 different types of stamps and each were used several times per passport. And oh yeah, Felici...

We started the day at 6 in the morning. A tuk-tuk (The Cambodian version) came to pick us up from our hotel to take us to our quad atv adventure. We met Sobey, our guide for the day. We also met Sean and Jen, another couple who from Toronto who was going on the ATV tour as well. We got a quick introduction on how to operate the ATV and then we were off. These Polaris TrailBlazers were automatic transmissions, so learning to drive one was fairly intuitive. Once on the trail, it quickly became ...

The day started early at 3:45am... its pretty hard to wake up at that time, but somehow we managed to pull ourselves out of bed and got dressed to go to Angkor Wat. We met Kim-san in the hotel lobby, and drove out to Angkor Wat in the dark. We got there around 4:50am and the first rays from the sun had just started to break the horizon lighting a tiny glow over the Angkor Towers. There were already a few tourists there lined up by the pool near the temple setting up their tripods for the perf...

... according to the brochure also has a health club and massage facilities and all for a bargin rate of $25 for the night (12.5 each) as it's low season which is v good.<br><br>All in all we have been happy with the hotel but have identified a few issues which it's fair to mention now 1) very few of the hotel staff speak any english, even those on the front desk. Trying to translate safety deposit box into Cambodia was an interesting ...

... at you to get your attention and to buy from them. Even if your holding water in your hand, they ask you do you want more water? I started to joke around the the locals asking if they wanted to buy my water from me. They would ask me how much. I'd say, $1.00. They say ok, you buy from me $3. haha. It was great. I'd find their books of the ground and start selling them to people and to them. We all got a good laugh out of it. <br>

... on, out of the Angkor Wat official park complex and into the country. This was one of the real highlights of the day for me. I got to see a good slice of the Cambodian countryside in this area and how the people live day to day; albeit from the back of a speeding tuk tuk. There were the makeshift gasoline stands with the petrol stored in old glass bottles, families on motorbikes (sometimes up to 5!), shirtless guys playing volleyball, women washing clothes at the well, endless ...

... he lived in the tuk tuk, as he had a small compartment in the front containing a few worn clothes and other very meager possessions. Sadly, this is very common.<br><br>Siem Reap itself is famous for what is billed as the 8th wonder of the world. Angkor Wat and the surrounding plethora of temples are some of the most impressive in the world for good reason. I invited a girl from my dorm room to join me on my day around the temples. We headed for the ...
