Day 1 - Cambodia

Guess what is the first sight that greeted us after we stepped out of the beautiful Siem Reap airport?
A Tuk Tuk driver with the kindest smile on earth,
Mr.Ron and his Tuk Tuk!

We checked in Ivy Guesthouse II just behind the Psar Chaa (old market)

there's a lot of easy shopping going on here, hehehehe!

one tip: do not stay along the airport road, u will be bored as hell!

We head to the town just to familiriaze ourselves with the area.

I wont use the word beautiful in a very happy way though,

the places and the faces that i see are strucked with a shadow from the past, they look tired and they really have to depend on tourism to put food on the table for the family. you see people from young to old trying to make a living somehow on the street...

So the first boy that approached us first with

"Lady, buy postcard? 1 dollar for 10? see..1,2,3,4,5,..."

It's the first contact with a local kid, so we bought postcard from him.

"Whats your name?"

"Nyon."

"Nyon, we're very hungry,can you bring us to a place for local Khmer food?"

"Ok"

cost us like $4.50 for all these, plus 2 cans of coke.

We invited Nyon to join us for lunch~

the pineapple dish is his favorite dish.

we visited a temple just behind our guesthouse,

and met this bunch of kids and learn some Khmer words from a young lad!

so many pagodas! in variety of colours!

its a strong buddhist country, according to Shu, its similar to Thailand.

and believe it or not DURIAN ICE CREAM,

i couldnt convinced myself, but they look like they are having a blast!

we went looking for dinner and found this amazing food!
its like the nicest, most meatiest,most filling pork pao ever!

then we head to a bar to drink~~~

and we have to wake up tomorrow morning at 4am for ANGKOR WAT SUNRISE!!!!cripes...
