Finishing up at Siem Riep. Only spent a couple of nights here. Went and saw the sunset at all the temples up here. The clouds disipated as i predicted right when sun sun hit the horizon. Rae said it was to cloudy but used good old Aussie know how and predicted the disipation. As you can see from my Pullitzer prize winning photography of the sunset! The next day we saw most the big temples. The big angor temple and stuff, they filmed tomb raider at the jungly temple we went too. I would have listed the names, but there not that important as i remember them as like the one with the trees, the one with the faces, etc. Some crazy scotish people who were staying at our guest house went there at 4:30 in the morning for like 3 days in a row. Honestly, you see one you go, nice, wow, take a pic see the next one. You see one, youve seen them all.
A Sexy Trio
Went to the Cambodian Land mine museum, lots of different mines as you might presume. Unexploded stuff the US dropped on Cambodia.
Not much to say, pretty place, lot of temples. Nice pictures. Lots and lots of people without limbs. Pretty sad to see a country so poor, people who are blind with no arms or legs. You speak to people in the poor countries who have lost their whole families, who work every day of the year from 5 in the morning till midnight, except for 2 months where they get 2 days of a week. I was thinking how much i used to complain at home about work, little stupid, pointless things, i guess if you come to a place like cambodia, it puts it your own life into perspective a bit for you.
