And songs and rows – Angkor travel notes (3)

The third day, and appointments of women to the Royal Palace, touch the pulse of the continuation of the Millennium (2006-5-2)

Today's trip is to visit Angkor's circle, but first, we're still in the Angkor Temple, the morning these days, we all spent in Angkor Temple, today we want to land on the Temple of the highest level enjoy the first rays of sunshine, got up early, stay with us or the SAME, inadvertently, is already like that long Avenue, seize the time in the car, to blot out the sunscreen on the body and water repellent, it turns out, the correct protection is very important to the Angkor temples of Angkor, saturated and cannot enjoy the scenery of the morning, stormed marching to the temple, from the lover BoardThe Temple above only after the discovery of two or three individuals, bird's eye view of the whole Angkor is clad in Misty flew from time to time to wake up, a bird, curiously exploring us these uninvited guests, the mood was very calm, a short distance, but seems to have left the world of the Millennium, heaven may just not far away, perhaps we live in this paradise, the Sun from a distance of jungle slowly exposing her head, stole form Purlin shot into a ray of sunshine at the warm yellow light, like a romantic bath, sitting on the window sill wife photo, look in the viewfinder is the morning package beautiful wife, hearts cannot but a ripple, next to the little fairy statue smiled at us that men and women in the world, Angkor in the morning, I finally come about if the touch you, but this time, I'm not then is the onlooker.

Out from the Angkor Temple, we decided to BA Rong temple along the look, its ornamental-yesterday, today also heart to tickle the mind also emerge from time to time, those mysterious smile, because today come early, BA Rong Temple visitors, only a few individuals traveling in Tallinn, between two monks head-on, we looked at each other and smile, one of the monks used to ask our friendly English is not from China, heart very happy, the most annoying is abroad was asked is Japan, is Taiwan people, so happy to give them as a picture, they also meet to smile, I suddenly felt that these inscriptions smile, where is controlled what King, what Buddha, their prototype is the good people of Cambodia, only good to reveal the smiling face of such innocent; look bad Rong Temple stand smiling face, did not feel the Majesty of yesterday, the smile in the side, this is my second into the Rong Temple deepest feelings.

We direct through-pass at a few kilometers later, came to the Holy Temple, is venerated here Gaya Gunes, a lovely like God, the temple is very large, long 0.8 km, width 0.6 km, draw Tabou Horyu experience, let us at East Gate, SAME; damage of swords and Temple, also many roof collapsed, the door is mixing milk sea scene, both sides of the beings and Asura tirelessly took big snake, several local kids at Woodside playful la treetop, I just do potential to their photography, including a little child hand: DOULER, ONE by another slightly larger children gave slapped his head, and then they joking manner own play, I and my wife could not help but smile, who responded positively to the coup in Europe and the tourists about the Cambodian child charity to bring a bad habit of hand.

In the monastery gate before the break, just saw a dog like a shepherd, a herd of cattle to implement supervisory duties, the cattle who went back into the team, but dogs and cattle are thin. Holy Temple is different from the Angkor Temple, BA Rong Temple, is a flat building, there is no high level, all over the walls of the hole and door frames, so you can frame from comment to West, from South to North, not the thought of the one bread the murders of rings set ring Club, this clearly is the door casing door frame Club. In the East, is the opposite one, cangjian is only a two-storey building, of course, only the stigma, unfortunately, we did not find the inferior vines of stone, may have been collections to the Museum, through the Holy Temple to the East Gate, long reference road side stand is the forest of Galileo, a group of children come and sell things, his wife at the bag of candy were distributed to them. Next stop, Lung Poon pool.

Lung Poon pool from the Holy Temple and the houses of the Buddhism, after a 100 more meters of loess road, corner of a small Song Shan, exposing a shitai, go in to take a look at the four sides around 30 to higher ground Knoll of abundant vegetation, sinking a stone in the middle of embedded system length 70 m large pool with a stupa, pagoda is a serpent coiled, a flying horse face stupa, hoof to fly, but unfortunately not the rainy season, or horse and pagoda will "float" in the water; the water all around are the four equal size of the small pond, pond side, Lions, elephants, cattle and horse head, it is said that in the past in the water tank on the herbs, the water in the portrait of outflow, drinkable or bathing.

Sitting on the steps of Bassin, lazy so did not want to move and the wind through the forest, with a cool breeze, the stupa in the middle of the pool and we just looked at from a distance, the courage to do under the hot sun "top".

From Lung Poon pool out, to the opposite of Raul Costa Temple looked at, is a very small temples, rundown, nor make any repair, there is no longer a complex table; not far away from the Tower's temple scale do not, just around the many fruit trees, more like an orchard instead of the monastery, the monastery in lesson fallen tree debris, tenaciously upward stretch out new leaves, had to let you feel the life of tenacious and great.

In the car far saw East rush on elephant, a bit of excitement, plans a total of three steps towards the four corners is a respectively elephant sculpture, meaning God like to teeth universe support, close up, the elephant is not imagined, only one person at a much higher, in order to create the specifications for the baby elephant, top nothing can cover the Sun, the head of the tropics only roughly around the field for a week.

In accordance with established route, after more than a grain of Temple back to downtown attractions, take a look at the present time, came out and the SAME itinerary, we decided to discussChange the line to keep tomorrow's female Palace refers to this afternoon's route, however, female the Royal Palace in another route, running from East view 25 km, after consultation, we increase 9 knife and then hit the road.

On my way to the palace women, we can see and in urban areas and scenic areas of too much, but it still the same blue, that impressed me most is that the small stalls along the way has a wooden frame, with a variety of colors, size of plastic bottles and 1.5 l Cola almost, and wife bet that's what the squabbling, SAME in a front of stalls, bought a bottle, pour into the fuel tank, my God, even all gasoline, in forty degrees, so sell inflammable dangerous goods, is amazing.

After nearly an hour to the women of the Royal Palace, the belly is hungry, in the scenic waterfront of fried rice with small restaurants and ordered, plus local ketchup sauce, but also eat has enjoyed it, although the weather is so hot, but from the health point of view, never dare to them free of ice water, a meal, the price is not cheap, seven passes, catch listing area consumption levels. The street was selling souvenirs stalls, looked like too much, simply do not buy, this should be the tourist should have good habits.

On the King's House, I have been full of hope, all kinds of books and travels all describe her is inlaid in Angkor's a gem, exquisite carvings throughout her every inch of skin, regardless of the door, wall, pillar, as long as the carving of the place, has a nice pattern; the female Palace houses is Brahmanism of Shiva, entered the women's Royal Palace, is one of about 50 m on both sides of the corridor, Gaya, female forest Royal Palace gate is actually only one meter wide doorway is still on the magnificent deep carved graphs algal, know the small size of the female of the Royal Palace, but approached, it was found that really is too small, it is said that this was a woman shelters, temporary Palace King Feizi, but how do these buildings, are like miniature area, a person can live in it, even if they live in, also no comfort from the modern residence requirements, this is absolutely not true, I'd rather believe it is just a small temple worship.

The middle is probably a few hundred square metres of garden, main building of female Palace is in the Middle, but has been separated from the surrounding rope, in front of the Ministry of God hericium erinaceus hanu Mann was already gone, female the Royal Palace all relief and are based on deep carving techniques, exquisite than Angkor Temple more relief wall, three-dimensional sense of strong, it feels like a blossoming from the stones out of the same, beautiful, beautiful, especially in front of the Virgin, the corners of the body graceful inlaid laugh, even after the Millennium, but just like yesterday, handheld camera, I greedily in which your search, take photographs, linger over and over again, in a broken wall, saw an elderly person sat on the bench, she found me kindly smile, suddenly remembered the grandmother has died, her past is used so looked at me, I do not know her at the other end of the world also, grandchildren want you.

The Royal Palace from the woman back, along the way we went to the temple than grain, which is used to hold the King has died, cremation ceremony belong to turn concrete structure, in the second tier platforms, saw a shicao, is used to flush ashes, I hate this place, I felt a chill.

Back to the city, and with our two-day trip, unless the SAME, because tomorrow we are going to get another line to Brolo's group, is to rent a car or a hired Michelle car hasn't been decided yet, anyway, before Tim belly, today ready to experience local cuisine, in the old market and grab a roadside restaurant, looks relatively clean, things are really afraid to flattered, not salty is pale, alas, still have a good rest, but also to see the sunrise in the morning! way, then we decided to rent a doodle car Brolo's group, by the side of the road just got a doodle cars, general condition, decoration, no other car striking drivers told to MR VANNA-5, skinny Black Black, unexpectedly, he accompanies us through the most memorable day.
