Hey, Cambodia ~

Why are the kids selling souvenirs & beg for money?
I read the article of Cambodia and knew that those kids can earn up to USD100 by selling the stuff to tourists which the parents only can earn USD30 from a full time work. Therefore the kids attend the school in order to learn English in the morning then work for the parents in the afternoon. Then, it’s up to you whether wan to give yr empathy to the kids.

How to tour ard Angkor?
Basically, Siem Reap is a tourist friendly town, tuk tuk driver will taken care of your route to Angkor Wat, what u need to do is bargain for the price. Standard should be USD12-15 per day. Personally feel that 12-15 is pretty high for the price. Food stalls inside Angkor are much more expensive than town, we usually brought light snacks for our lunch.

How to spend yr time in Angkor?
Other than the time spent inside the Angkor, you would find lots of free time afterwards. You may get yrself a reading book, sat yrself into any café for a casual evening. I see lots of western tourist do so, some with notebook. Are they here for long vacation? -_-

The food ~
Restaurant listed in the guidebook is always full of tourist, may the food is tasteful or the atmosphere is cozy. But the local restaurant without any recommendation should be worth for a try too. We had our pizza in a local small pizza restaurant and it turn out to be a good choice! The aroma of fried noodle by the motor stalls along the road was so tempting that we finally taste it!

The tourmate ~
There were 3 of us for this trip. The tuk tuk can be shared at most 4 people. Having tourmates in Cambodia is much cheaper in terms of sharing the transportation and guesthouse. Meals can have more varieties and shared as USD5 per person. Sharing of stories while climbing up & down in the shrine/temple is much more enjoying.

The great Angkor Wat ~
To learn the majestic building arts and the beauty of bas-relief then left with a pleasant experience. That’s my 8D6N adventures to Cambodia with jx and ekit. Hurry!!!
