Cambodia Trip (Day 1)

Woke up at 3.30am. the flight is at 7am. as the night before just came back from ipoh. so only sleep around 1am. so went to LCCT airport. they are doing some small renovations. even is so early in the morning, but the airport is already pack with people. probably is because it is the holiday season. not really excited on going on this trip. as all of them are at least 20 years older than me. so it will be boring. although all this adults love cracking some dirty jokes yet most of the time i m fast asleep once i am on the bus. haha.

it is a 2 hour flight, flying from KL to siem reap. once i m up the flight. i slept the whole way. there are 11 of us, some are relative some are my parents friends. when we reach there, a local guide welcome us. we were provided with this mini bus. i took the last row all by myself. we were took the the tonle sap lake first. it is the largest lake in south east asia.

then we were took to a souvenir shop. they demonstrate how they do the silk scarf, wooden monuments and all those souvenirs thingy la. then finally bring you to their shop. and watever sold there are crazily expensive. so every1 ended up empty handed.

then we went for lunch. after lunch, we were brought to our hotel. overall. i quite like the hotel. clean, pretty, got quite a big swimming pool. went to the room to rest for 2 hour. then we were given a free massage for 1 hour by the tour company. so we were brought to this place for the massage. first, they wash our feet with some soap. then change on a pair of slipper. then they ask us to change into the provided tshirt and pants. all of us in 1 room. we were asked to lie down on a mattress.. then they wil start massaging. after the 1 hour massage, body feel so good.

then later we go to the Angkor site, to 1 of this temple which is build on this little hill to watch the sunset. took around half hour to reach the peak of the hill. then we need to climb up the temple. wy do i say climb, cos their staircase are very steep. it is at 70 degree. the steps are very narrow. the steps are build that way because in ancient time, they want the common people to bow down when they climb the staircase. to show respect to the god. if you do not show respect, you will have accident at the staircase. so reach up there, but is quite cloudy. cant see the whole sun as in the egg yolk shape. not like in egypt, i think i saw few times of sun rise and sun set in the whole egg yolk shape.

once the sun set, oohh shit.is so dark. when going down the hill, is so dark. cant really see the road properly also. and is not tar road. all mud road. have to be careful. then went for dinner. is a buffet dinner. got cultural show. is called the bbq buffet. but wat is bbq, only some pork or some beef in a satay stick, BBQed. then went back hotel. sleep like a pig.
