Then go to tickets, the last is from Hong Kong-Ho Chi Minh-Phnom Penh, return ticket RMB3155 element. In fact, the Phnom Penh airport landing check, USD20, very convenient. Insert a table, put a picture, make money, in just minutes. But I was a rookie abroad, no visa did not dare to travel, spend the money for psychological comfort.

29

Noon-1: 00 to Phnom Penh, (flying to Ho Chi Minh airport will watch dial slow an hour, local time is slower than Beijing time for an hour, 29 days in air has earned a one hour).

Legendary corruption of officials, looks very warm, saw me looking around, active waved me over. Raiders, dress to a low-key, backpack should not be too striking, I wear low-brow reveals a fading hat, how do you see are not as willing to tip. So the officials asked some, such as your name, where to, give me my stamp release. They speak of sound very cool, but can understand. Not nervous. After returning home, listen to me a friend of Taiwan passport holder said that officials asked did he change his struggle for a while, pretending to understand, or let him too. Therefore, resolutely resist corruption.

The airport is very small, come see wrote my name at the airport were Kevin, USD8, receive me into Indonchine hotel down USD12 (indochinehtl @ camnet .com. kh).

Because before the reservation by e-mail, the prices are arranged, so check there is no problem. The only place where the goods are not version, I subscribed is Indonchine hotel, accommodation in hotel 2 is Indonchine. Shop party explained is the branch (after verification is true). The shopkeeper Bee, is a very cute little girl looks are Asian, mouth to speak a foreign language, they knew that they were foreigners. In other countries, had to temporarily take down the mother tongue. Get the subscription for the following day morning, 7: 30 to go to Siem Reap's Mekong Express ticket, go out and find food. Just saw a Bank, go in for USD5 (1USD = R4120), all of a sudden there is a $ 2 million in local currency, very rich. However Bank little sister told me that the locals eat a lunch generally 1USD. I ate a long bread, vegetables and intermediate clip some fire attribute anything, also with a plate of bacon dishes, tea, I R1000. The small shopkeepers don't speak English, seat, I put the various denominations of money out of him, he means a 1000 $, so my safe to eat. Just $ 2 RMB? taste very good, may also be myself hungry. But I remember the Raiders says, strongly not to drink water in bulk, I drink bottled water.

After dinner, go to the Palace (The Royal Palace): set country jingbihuihuang made up of financial resources, it is located at Tonle River, a spacious flat, clean streets and large lawn Plaza.

The Palace is also silver Buddhist temple and Napoleon Museum. Palace opening hours: 8: 00-11: 00 to 14: 00-17: 00, clothing must be clean and tidy, sleeveless can't come in here. Tickets: $ 3. The door, just encountered one speaks Mandarin tours, then mixed in it the opportunity to take pictures, listen to a church free of course, just a bunch of old old man, walking too slow, I had to slow death. Discover the Cambodian shadow chuoyue "this book, take photos of Napoleon Palace into a silver Palace injection. The room is always going to take off your shoes and hats, a bit of trouble.

Dinner found a shop, because the menu has a picture, but the price is a local number, like small snails, couldn't understand.

So check out pen and paper, ask price is very smooth. A bowl of porridge with meat, a bowl of bovine offal soup and a loaf of bread. Clerk brought me a dish very strange vegetables, also came to teach me how to eat. A nine-storey tower or something, the taste is very strange, do not eat, but the soup is good to drink, with a hint of sweetness, I see some people are long bread into the soup and eat. Overall, very good. R8800。 Several staff beaming me eat.

After dinner by the side of the road to find a TUKTUK, is an old, wearing glasses, speak very good English.

That brought me to watch the sunset and in Phnom Penh city one, USD5. I just want to go for an hour or so, also referred to a request, he took me to buy coconut drink. He was tried, zone I go sightseeing, to buy a fresh coconut, R1500/a. I give him a drink, and he looked very happy. The ointment is that his car on the way out, and get a half-day didn't fight the fire, so he and I talk, I go back to GH, but I'll pay him a little money, he said: "It is up to you," and he helped me make a rickshaw, USD1, let the man sent me back to GH. He squeezed my paid USD2, repeatedly said to me: "Sorry", and says to GH I, take me to visit. I politely refused. Because I want to leave Phnom Penh tomorrow!

The GH, go to the corner of the Internet surfing, to domestic gang from the email, see a on MSN buddy hung, parents had wanted to bite her.

Thanks to the Internet!

Go back to GH, see India shop, so Shi shi so went over late-night snacks.

India uncle is really good, the price is reasonable, illustrated that point a spare know what mixture of spices and fresh vegetables, a cake, a glass that is fruit juice, drink only know is yogurt. Spent USD4.

30 day

At seven in the morning, the car to GH received the station.

I get found, in fact, I live only a few hundred meters of GH. Mekong Express the condition being that the baggage has strict registration procedures, with the car of the lovely, just explaining how to listen to English as the local language. A car of the foreigner. Hear local ticket USD7, and tourists-tickets, car to USD9 per person issuing a water, a small box of exquisite bread. Very good, not enough to eat. By car in about 6 hours, half-way there is a break for lunch. Noon-1: 00 to Siem Reap. Many persons around the station, go to the baggage after he was surrounded by many people, unable to break through. Can't come and meet me in person, a fear by however, I cover the ears screaming, someone always says: "I'm not going to kill you!" at this time, there was a guy with a Chinese saying he knew that I said, so he is GH his left hand. The group I heart health fears, immediately dispersed. In fact, they are to survive, just stealing two mouthfuls. There is nothing terrible.

The way this young man is very much hope that I can hire a few days after his car.

As before, I had to contact contact GH and they helped me find TUKTUK driver, so I politely told him of the situation. He seemed lost. But soon send me to a GH GH, and at the door waiting for me. In fact, I'm with GH mail communication from a little problem, I finally wrote a sentence, I will contact them. Results to Phnom Penh, in the Internet Cafe just to chat with friends, forget to confirm the pick up. They write out the shift manager have my name brands to me to prove that they have done for them, not at fault. Okay, so I left the room. USD9/day. I go to room, very good. Online a lot of people recommend this GH, first floor, there is free Internet computer, hot water, coffee and bananas. Want to send photos from your camera, you can pour out and find they borrow the card reader, or you can ask them engraved discs, USD2. Golden Temple Villa (temple_angkor @ hotmail.com) environment is very good, very clean, no mosquitoes at night. Just mattress too soft, pillows too hard, and my personal life a little bit different.

Then came downstairs and TUKTUK driver communication for the next three days trip.

I've written to go out to talk to, only to find his Chinese is limited, do not see a Word. Good in all of Chinese names, I have copied the English name (clever!). Itinerary and price after I speak, GH young handsome boss help to check, he solemnly go out and talk to a Seng, come back and tell me that he knew that the driver's family lived where, if you have any unpleasant, please tell him that he come to help me. At this point, the GH help me find the tour came also, met decided to travel the next day, the tour guide. I asked my little drivers Seng, took me to lunch. I know, fried rice rice called: "Fired" and "noodle with yellow rice noodle" "noodle". While online admired Fruit Share, General shop night market. Ate lunch, Seng said that took me to look around, and then to watch the sunset. The road to find a Bank for USD10, USD1 = R4000. Halfway to a probably praying, Temple bar, do not understand, and Seng said, don't like that kind of sounds. But he said that he likes to listen to. Cultural differences, cannot understand.

Soon to Angkor Wat, Queueing out a three-day tickets.

As for the photos, so few rows of a team. National Day Golden Week, South-East Asia have also been golden week, many Chinese people. A good comparison, talking out loud, is with the group; in May with a blooming of domestic out self-help. I was in the first days after my tour listen English explanation, a man with a "may", in full bloom speaks Mandarin up towards me.

Dinner is at the dead fish.

Go to the bathroom and saw that the restaurant had some crocodile, ask the waiter, just know that fish caught in crocodile, becomes "dead fish." The waiter asked me: "Japan?", two days, being asked this question several times. Possible to Japan more. Dinner, full of thought what wonderful folk songs and dances, the results are just two people, a man and a woman, in a small stage with some of the RA baskets, than to change than to go; later two rounds watches, sing in English. Dining environment is also very good for fat trance, think beyond Darling. Second floor restaurant to take your shoes off.

After dinner to go to the bar street shopping, a Massage, lit.

I and a foreigner together, I asked him if he liked? a smile, he said. We are arranged in a large room, fabric drapes for trousers. Manipulation is very comfortable, just think back on the mat under the sand, there seems to be not very clean feeling. However, I was comfortable sleeping the past. Do you want to see clearly and then Massage, point lights, universal, only the man service.

1 day

Angkor.

At eight o'clock in the morning, swim five Banteay Kdei-Temple:--Ta prohm – Ta keo-Chan say thevoda – Bayon. Ta prohm individuals is highly recommended, wrapped around a tree and the Bayon Temple-secret smile face Buddha. Moreover, a tour guide, really worth it, otherwise, attracted to, looking at the piles of stones that look a mess out of nothing.

2 day

5: 30 morning at sunrise.

AngkorWat crowded to see the sunrise. Silently, no one speak loudly, many people with a good camera, etc. I took his flashlight, walked into the deepest layers of the tower. To the East, sat, etc that jumped out of the egg yolk. There are three or four white skin girl and I together, we looked at each other and smiled quietly enjoy the quiet in the morning. I stayed in it to come out, jiudianduo 60 m fine sculpture promenade, amazing. Next look at preah Khan-Neak pean-Ta som – East Mebon – Pre rup, just a little taste shenmeipilao. Pre rUp of brick carving looks rough, but the place is very spacious and suitable for the trance, look at the sunset.

Second end of the journey, back to more Siem Reap old market restaurant.

Find the legend of Siem Reap first delicious Curry Taj Manal (which is USD1 meal?) to eat a meal USD 6, frankly, do not feel that there is nothing special, the cake was doing quite well.

Half past four, Seng then accompany me to a Bayon.

In Angkor Wat also made a short stay. Different times, in different light, monasteries have different beauty.

Back to GH, clause 4, morning left Siem Reap's ticket.

3 day

Seng early in the morning to take me to the Beng Mealea-, Banteay Srei-– Kbal Spean road is really far, Beng Mealea away from Siem Reap some 40 km away, as is the rainy season, dirt track on many pits, open up difficult TUKTUK.

Beng Mealea online recommended a lot of people, because of mines, the whole temple is just a pile of debris. No local initiative followed the presentation of the wizard, go, you sure can't see what stuff. USD5 tickets too relentless. I heard someone hurt and snakebite. Has been heard once buried inside the wizard says many mines, or fear of mines. It is said that now cleared up. Banteay Srei and who knows? of very small very small and all the doors are exquisite dapper. Carving exquisite, and Angkor VAT is completely different in two styles. Kbal Spean is Seng most reluctant to take me to the place, he had to travel by motorcycle, I went in because the road is too rotten, dirt track was ponding in the pit. Three and a half is the last admission time, Seng lest I catch up to the mountains. The mountain road is very static, very afraid. Occasionally encounter one or two people, is the mountain. There is no direct road sign, followed by walking out of the way to go, go, go to a local, and sure enough insight into the water to see some of the sculpture. A bit disappointed. Take a tour "to the" State of mind soothe myself, quickly down the Hill. All the way to recognition of the trash go down the Hill. Small snake encountered along the way. There is one word: "fear".

In the evening, Seng at my request, take me to a Siem Reap very famous buffet dinner, watch performances.

At the restaurant entrance and Seng break up.

End of the tour.

The impression of Seng, while beginning to bargain a bit difficult when, but it was always a lot of fun.

4 in the morning to three points, he also took me to the two say a name, but with the tickets in the temple. But every time I go out, do not forget to remind me to check without tickets. I moved, he waited for me, must be read. He is studying Chinese. My four-day price is USD70, subsequently gave him USD10 tips, right when the support he studied. If you believe that I could to find him.

SENG,+855 012957963,Sengdriver@yahoo.com

My tour guide is an English tutor, explaining the very meticulous seriously, talk to the temples of historical clearly make do with listening, you can contact him directly.

Mr. vonyTel :012 588344.

(I hear please find him, GH to pay part of the money to GH.

I am free to help him here recommended)

4 day

Early on in the outside of the small stalls GH, eating a bowl of powder.

GH to my ticket is USD4. Not the Mekong Express. It is a communication problem, he said that they cannot provide the Mekong Express, and I heard the Mekong Express, has said: "OK". So, I began to worry about locking and security issue (after all, the price is cheaper than the former, more than half), and soon the car to pick me up, and go to another place connected to four foreigners, one person, a backpack, go to a Department of the CMB, not long before they go to a coach, official start. Car front windshield very a crack, sticky, car air conditioning also very cool, except for some mosquito didn't buy tickets in the car. A car of a local person, apart from a few foreigners. In the car ask foreigners, who live in GH, USD3 one night. Admire! pick them, from the outside looks are the little house, green trees, the environmental good place ...

To Phnom Penh, the original GH didn't come pick me up, then guests see OKAY, go with him.

Raiders on many of the recommended OKAY, go take a look at the environment is very good, a House is a cozy restaurant, small floor green trees and many blonde, USD6/night. Settle down, they go out.

This plan is to kill farm (Killing Field): 15 km south of Phnom Penh, was once the concentration camps of the Khmer Rouge.

In 1975, Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge leaders captured Phnom Penh regime, winner of the next three years, Cambodia lost her nearly one-third of the population, but also many intellectuals. It is said that King Sihanouk mother burial place, the Khmer Rouge had a days killed 800 people, and dug up in killing field whose body has more than 9000.

A dude passionately to meet up, asked do you want to go Killing Field, his English is these days to hear the pronunciation of the standard, good price, the old man (Martin) took me to eat, just see the beginning to Phnom Penh, 29, when eaten in the shop, excitedly ran in, eat a big bowl of bovine offal soup and a loaf of bread.

Then please take me to Martin Viet Nam aviation determine availability. Done, went to the Killing Field. The roads are not good, but Martin very optimistic that said, I thank the Government gave so a free massage. Martin way, told me about some of the Pol Pot regime, feelA bit like China's cultural revolution.

Killing FieldUSD2, collect the money no tickets.

In the evening looking and feeling very sad. Martin suggested that I go to a museum to see the next day a 9: 30-10: 30 free movie, in this period of history. This is a surprise. Lectures on the following eleven to add me to the airport, I let him take me to the Tonle Lake night market, pay, separated.

5-day

Morning in the breakfast restaurant OKAY, Fruit, bread and eggs Share and powder and the like, feel good, the price is fair.

Eat what they have written down in a room number in the book, checkout time together. Go find that Martin has come, smiled and waiting at the side. Go to greet him, tell him I'm going to the movies and go to the National Museum, he said that the latter is very near, but both of them, it is not enough time to walk. He took me to bid USD3. A deal. Results found that he take me away is the famous Tuol Sleng Pol Pot will school into a prison, torture, in lack of belief that chill. 9: 30 on time on projection, English and Cambodian, there are some titles, to the effect that can understand, in a sad love story for clues.

Look for half an hour, quickly went to the National Museum (National Museum of Cambodia).

Tickets USD3, personally think that through Angkor, here you can visit a small summary. In Angkor, my tour guide pointed to some stones, tell me it is a symbol of male genitalia, I can see it. Later, only to find the boutique at the National Museum, while most of the National Museum are torn, but the quality and of Angkor, or to compare the relative integrity, persuasive. It is said that there are more than 5000.

Take a TUKTUK to Martin's airport, 20 minutes.

Martin also stop on the way to help me buy coconut, I had already run out of local currency, Martin help me out. Then of course the tip initiative given back to him in.

Airport tax is USD25, security screening, baggage in a very memorable Switzerland knife forget shipping, security of a handsome young man in hesitated will then proactively said help me separate straight, fill in the documents, he ran to get a very nice little tray installed, I go to other staff.

I am very thankful that the initiative in his hand a little tip, he did not deny. As a result, when you turn on the way, I have seen the pretty small tray be different people carrying to carry, and finally in Hong Kong Airport slowly come out from the baggage belt upper class.

At the airport to the time allocated almost an hour, leaving the United States.

Have the opportunity, would also like to go for a certain period of time.

Believe that feel the same way, more than me.
