Evening fast 11-point lead to Phnom Penh airport, a taxi directly to the Nice GH.

Day 2: Phnom Penh 1 Palace, museums, tashan, independence monument, killing field, S21 prison, Russia market, Tonle

7: 30 in the morning up to look outside the Inn, weather good, uncle very early on it, has been outside in a circle in the investigation.

Behind two Street is the local market, we find the House seems to also clean shop, to eat rice, soup is good. 3 $ 4 bowls, this rice flour is basically our next few days breakfast.

Breakfast 8 point, ask the breakfast serving, Palace looks like a long, although other gonglue says several places are relatively close, but no direction, this time a driver looking up tutu, 2 $ drive us to the Palace.

GH from Nice to the Royal Palace is still far away, at least let us find the past will be ruined. To the Palace, tutu drivers to put $ 15 with us one day, we think it was OK, so we can not offer to him.

The Palace is a replica of the construction of Thailand, Palace and beyond are two different worlds, tickets $ 5.

Palace silver Temple is well worth a look, especially around the entire silver Temple mural of a cloister. Out of the Palace, opposite the Tonle, the Lake has a character of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Cambodia and flag States. Chinese flag in the Center. But the Palace not large, around a circle. Each local reference the introduction on what used to be.

Along the North wall of the Palace, to the North wall is 184 Street, across the street, red like a temple-like building is the National Museum of Cambodia, tickets $ 3, you cannot take pictures.

The Museum is very simple, there is no other Museum common large glass, all the exhibits are bare rendering in front of you, there is an open-air museum, is open in the Centre of the garden lilies pond, the very hot weather sat in the surrounding are Buddha's courtyard, is comfortable. Many people think that the most worth of Phnom Penh is the Museum, the book says this is "left the Buddha's recent places", many priceless Angkor monuments have been looted, and only here you can see some, if you like Angkor should be like here. Unfortunately there is no Chinese tour guide, with limited English listen to India myth or some difficulty. Next to each of the exhibits are English, French and a description of the Cambodian man, you can control the may blooming on the book of recognized some proper nouns comparison table. (English speaking Guide $ 5, there are also selling pirated LP $ 4/$ 6, maps), though to read the following before India myth, but essentially useless. Their God is too much. -_-!

Then went to tashan (Weng Wurth), began to think that is very high, the result is 27 metres of a mountain, but is also a small hill in the city of Phnom Penh.

Look around in a circle, in fact, it is very interesting, because basically there is a center of activity. A circle of men in the shuttlecock, techniques are very good, because they are behind shuttlecock, rather we are facing now. Very difficult. Oh, and here also receive money, in fact, don't have to, because we put tutu drivers at the door, just place your money, there is no railings, from anywhere you can get in without money. And here is just a foreigner to make money, not the local people.

Time flies, 11 points in accordance with the recommendation that gonglue we went to a place called KHMER SURIN's most Southeast Asian style restaurant and the room around the flowers and plants green decorated with antique furniture, shoes on the second floor there are balcony seating, direct Thai-style lie down, here's the Cambodian and Thai meals are very popular, we point out: amork fish, beef, red curry coconut octopus, Cambodia meal tastes compare light, like on many spices, lemon grass in particular, so too acid, curry nor too hot.

There are also in very hot weather essential shake ($ 1.5/Cup), in the days have left shake every meal, and also essentially curry. at every meal. Meal, three times is still very early, trance, cool breeze wafting, everyone is asleep.

Woke up a little, to discuss the next, direct to the killing field (tickets $ 2), about 15 km from the urban areas, half an hour's drive, basic is a dirt track, all the way bumpy, dusty and very dry, killings

Field is people can directly experience the Red Khmer bloody, Cambodia has repaired a high tower, I thought it was the monument, who knows it all is to see the hordes are surcharge of human skulls, horrified direct, mind it unbearably muggy. Although many books that say how many people died in World War II, where and how many people have been killed, but never see, but here are just some of there dug up. .. The space next to go was buried these bones, but I think I'm every step, the following are likely buried bones, killing field, mood suddenly become muffled.

Down to 21 prison (tickets $ 2), here make me feel better than killing field would also like to let my permeability unbearably because killing field just saw one result, but in the prisons to see these people suffering of a process.

Prison a Hall show a lot of photos that are here have prisoners, but their expression and not make me feel fear or desperation, is very calm look, let me have a contradictory feelings, then see that they cannot be demonstrated, misery, despair, otherwise they will be executed, the last victim is a woman and her child or a baby, if Viet Nam's army as early as one day attack came in she would be saved, results when Viet Nam Army attack came in here only 7 individuals who are responsible for taking photographs of prisoners. The door also has a high shelf, following a water tanks, said next is to allow students to practice the killings. Last prison never seen came out, widow of the widow.

Killing fields and prison many people didn't go, but I think it should go and see, because at this point we are close to the events of the era, in to Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Khmer Rouge period of daily evening news Prince Sihanouk in, I don't know anything about it.

Then go and buy the tickets, buy the captiol, very cheap, 5.5 $. And then went to the Russia market, is actually a large wholesale market, what are the central market, the price is cheap, but more expensive than imagined, the basic no less than $ 1 products.

Clothing, crafts, both local and from Thailand into, can the owner doesn't allow it, watching some dazzling and market tolerable, there is no shopping desires, so soon. We went to the central market is the maintenance, things should be and Russia market almost, but the central market of architectural features, is very 1935-1937 by France architect, is called "Phnom Penh's landmark, the cross-shaped dome building, from the air looking down, like a giant fan, construction interior column-beam, extending in all directions."

Fast 5 points.

The independence monument took picture before, although we have three times over here, and then directly to the Tonle River of FCC (Foreign correspondent club), the FCC is located on a street corner near the River (on the FCC's introduction see fcccambodia.com), open on the second floor at the river scene very good evening of Phnom Penh, the start and the roads, the whole city dispatched, it is said that local people every night live is to Tonle River recreation. Gathered here with bars, restaurants, specialty shops. Just go with the driver says FCC (Foreign correspondent club), the guarantee will not be wrong. FCC is located on a street corner near the River (on the FCC's introduction see fcccambodia.com), open on the second floor at the river scene is pretty good. There are around Happy painting, Colours of Cambodia, the grocery store. The FCC had a glass of something, the recovery of mood, studied under the last dinner what kelly told Subin look LP Golden Fish after unanimously recommend, I have no objection to uncle. The Golden Fish from the FCC's far.. Take a long time to come along, but also to the River. Phnom Penh seems to be to build the Riverside Street, the River is full of construction.

7 point over the bar, before the Golden Fish, is the bar, next to the hole in the River.

Here I would like to recommend a dish Wainaina Kaka, can only say, young people, whatever you want to try it, is a fish on the menu is "Ross Fish", this really is a fish, no broken, all Gill, fish, meat and Fish Maw are very fresh, but a start, a chopsticks down to see the internal organs, almost made me spit out. Uncle with kelly sat opposite, not seen, also said that this fish is good, when I put the dishes go direction, everyone. Out opposite is a market that is very lively, there is little singers singing here and buy clothes, paint, food, people here are threes of eating.

Then go straight to the Angkor ticket office, buy from tomorrow's three-day pass: $ 40/person, so this afternoon after 17: 00 to free entry to attractions. At the ticket office of a line-up with Polish took tickets to snapshot, holding his own Angkor pass, excited Ah, come see the obsession of Angkor.

Tuktuk has been through in the dense forest to the North, and soon the end of the road was lying a moat, at first I thought it was a big lake, later found to be a moat, inside long-secret place once suddenly appeared in front, some do.

Turn left and then turn right, continue along the moat to the North, right away you can see the same five-seater Lotus pagoda, which is seen in the photo in countless Angkor Temple. Very excited Ah. The car continued to move forward, to see the road on the left hand side packed crowd in the climb to the mountain nesbakken.

There are like road on the left you can ride the Elephant Hill, if you come earlier you can pick the best spots to sit down and watch the sunset slowly, etc. Early to be prepared for each evening at sunset, when the mountain nesbakken crowded places are not dangling, but has really reached the top of the Hill and found okay, is it because of the economic crisis we are all family at home? Buchan mountain nesbakken Temple (devastation) may have been the first contact of the Angkor monuments, bench damaged badly, not only steep narrow also, hands and feet to climb up. Sundown is backlit, monuments and more bleak. But too late to look directly start and sunset.

4: 30 to get up, go out to see the Sunrise 5 shops, arrived, it was black, flashlight again play useful, the gate of the Imperial City, people are old, hard to find a good seat station, Sunrise red dawn slowly emerging, Imperial City also clear up, but unfortunately did not make good again, only the next time you try to go to Nepal.

Start off small ring mini tour

Angkor (Angkor Wat) — the largest, most well-known and most representative, the largest and best repair (relative), not words, most people forget to return the building to countless carvings and murals, and beat up.

BA Rong Temple (Bayon) – Angkor through the center of the capital city, the famous "Khmer smile", the Buddha of the jungle, as if the shuttle in the maze, trying to every face down is not possible.

Baphuon

Angkor's ancient Palace

Victory Gate – India myth the mixing milk sea law, God (beings) and Asura of only once.

Battle Tower

Toi

Noon kelly camera no points, so that the best backup battery block. '.

And then came back to GH midday rest, eat a lunch. 2 pm to continue

Tower high temple (Ta Keo) — unfinished great works, we can see Angkor's buildings are a good first stone carving again.

The most difficult climb of a place.

Tabb Chi Temple (Ta Prohm) – film "Tomb Raider" shot, very unique attractions, Tower and entangled in the tree, is also a good place for the murder of film.

Spot Diez brother Timothy (Banteay Kdei)

>

Bean guan Temple (Prasat Kravan)

At the end of the day was tired!.

9 p.m. through direct sleeping the past.

Day 5: Angkor 2 female Palace (Banteay Srei) high Dobbs Obama collapse mealea (Beng Mealea) Tonle

Am 7: 30 o'clock, female Palace distance approximately 30 km from Siem Reap to more than half an hour by car.

On the way to the palace women, many villages, more is the simple diaojiaolou-feet high, have a little walk is a bamboo handicraft stalls quickly to a destination far away you can see as a circle shape of Litchi Hill, near several freestanding very impressive dwellings, and just saw modest house is a world of difference, these outliers widowed people may be very prosperous. Many of the Khmer Rouge period built House. Have a look very strange things, locals say that this is the Banana ... I don't know my cognitive wrong there. Then know that the banana flowers. -_-!

Female Palace is Angkor in one of the most important buildings, although modest, but dapper, her beauty from very fine carving, each pillar, the family is a very fine carving India myth story or leaves and flowers, and other patterns.

Here for morning before 10: 30: 00 and 2: 00 pm to visit, because the Sun is shining in red sandstone, it is nice.

Next stop is high Dobbs, here is basically, climbing rocks, jungle of mountaineering activities, 1400 meters of distance, but it doesn't look good, although that is the bottom relief, but basically can't see anything, although it is said that the mountain of stone is beautiful, but there is no way up, because there is mined... down hot No, directly holds a big coconut drink.

After lunch off to collapse the dense column because the column distance compared to the collapse of dense, from shore high fabrics, open the last about 1 hour 40 minutes by car, is basically the dusty dirt roads.

Angkor pass here doesn't work, you want to buy tickets for the $ 5 alone/people, a janitor who led us through the ruins, or we are unable to find the ruins of the road. Complements the collapse in the forest and dense column filled with mysterious atmosphere, has so far failed to advance. Since her English is not very good, we can probably know climbing over the Chinese style Pavilion, promenade, the portal. Come to know her should also be victims of mines, have one leg is artificial, uncle gave her $ 5, here "is Angkor monuments group most worth at the same time, the most difficult to trace." Collapse mealea and Angkor Temple almost as large in size, but still be wrapped with the jungle, as compared to the one that so many Emboss and the statue has been looted. Be sure to climb into the rocks is interesting, if you just walk around with didn't go are the same.

Finally go to Tonle at sunset (tickets $ 10), but the weather was bad, not seen, very fishy Lake, Lake live quite a few people, living by fishing, Cambodians, and Viet Nam, Viet Nam village here in 1998, when it had been before the massacre, killed 20 people, they have their own schools, is Viet Nam, don't know why nobody in Cambodia was assimilation.

Great Lakes, you can see the morning feeling.

Day 6: Angkor 3 Brolo's group (Rolous) + Angkor circle

As early as 7: 30 departure to Brolo's group, Brolo's buildings constructed for the first time, was called Khmer art beginning.

Here visitors rarely, Angkor passes also works. In one of the biggest PA Kung Temple has a particularly simple primary school, where the kids are very simple, and then take the donation box, hope we can donate to help them build a school.

Big circle of attractions in order:

Than grain Temple (Pre Rup) — for good in the morning light.

East rush (East Mebon) — originated in the ancient Indian mythology: the four gods like the separation of the Quartet to the universe support bottlenose.

Tower's (Ta Som)

Lung Poon pool (Neak Pean)

Holy Temple (Preah Khan) — is very large, endless Tower cave, from East to West.

Back to BA Rong Temple next to the large gears dinner break ($ 4/person, here is expensive, can the sword in the temple outside large gears dinner break), although it does not stop at the temples, carving, inevitably some aesthetic fatigue, but in fact each of these attractions are also has its own characteristics, if on Hinduism and India myth has some more can help you understand these temples and sculptures, because the Angkor complex, there are many Hindu temples, the Royal Palace, is beans guan Temple.

Afternoon elephant bench, and then on the time bar Rong Temple.

Day 7: continue to stay in Siem Reap, uncle is prepared to continue to Viet Nam, our three rented a bike and sauntered in Siem Reap, runway old market to buy a Baltic honey, roasted banana, I still continue to cling to the coconut drink.
