November — mystery and adventure journey-Cambodia

Nov. 1-Nov. 7, Cambodia tours

Day 1

From Beijing, with stops at Guangzhou, because the plane was late, made me no time in duty-free shops shopping rush to board the plane flew to Phnom Penh from Guangzhou.

Arrival is 9 p.m. (Phnom Penh).

When you arrive at the customs, discover Cambodia civil or old look, while the rate on the window with nothing to pay here, but they still whisper: china, 1 1 USD.

The previous person does not understand the situation that gave 1 knife, he even further, said one 2 knife, results and gave 1 knife. It was my turn, I wouldn't give to read a post before, adhere to is victory! and sure enough, he had probably 4 moji, 5 minutes, during this period he looked about, do not know who, subsequent rows behind me who also run to the other teams, leaving me alone with him, he must not money extremely helpless release. Here to tell you that the plane will be issued a stewardess small pieces of paper on which you want to fill in the entry and exit of flights and personal circumstances, this piece of paper never lost, lost, then exit will be for 1-2 dollars or so. Would also like to remind you, don't hang out in the trunk card card or something, it will be stolen, the best locked suitcase, as is the possibility of opening look great.

Hotel GH is RIVER STAR, they sent a car to pick, received $ 9, is a bit expensive, did not understand the market.

This GH is located in the River, or Lake Tonle LP inside has recommended, this is also the reason we choose, the service staff is very warm, help us luggage guy English is not particularly good and a little shy, but he tried to help us go. There is no free drinking water, in the vicinity of the small supermarket to buy point. Here's drinking water variety, simply do not know what the good, the last selected the more expensive, $ 0.38/bottle. In fact, after the Siem Reap is a large bottle of buy Pepsi products, 1 knife a large bottle. 10 o'clock at night, no messy tottered out there, back to the hotel, go to Siem Reap tomorrow confirmed tickets, free human GH sent us to the station.

Besides, we live under the room without window, turned off the light which is called a black in the future.

But clean and tidy, the TV also has many large, channels, room and bathroom are also relatively large, conditions not bad.

DAY 2

Clause 8: 30 tickets, many times you can stroll around.

A walk along the River, take a look at the surrounding restaurants, finally choose RIVER STAR breakfast, point a fried rice and a can of porridge, is an amount of $ 2.9, are large, a people, very delicious congee, inside squeeze lemon juice seasoning, don't point have a flavor, like the smell of the vegetables, so there are a lot of mushrooms, the material is sufficient, the menu on the bor bor kreung, belong to the local distinctive food and later in LP recommended Khmer kitchen also points out the same gruel, compared to the Khmer kitchen porridge is inferior to many.

Tickets $ 11 per person, probably gone 5 and a half hours, the road to stop once you have the opportunity to go to WC, by the way, support your local businesses, many children will sell bananas, pineapple and mango.

There are many stalls selling fried spiders or anything, quite horrible, but some people eat very fragrant and does not understand.

Because more comfortable passenger cars, the scenery along the way, so it is nice to feel time too nice and fast.

Then, realized Cambodia the afternoon sun is strong. I was with the sunscreen spf30, and later in local business point discovery, vichy, etc. brand sells are not lower than spf50 of sunscreen.

In Siem Reap our order GH is Peace of Angkor, Cambodia is to have friends recommended, in fact, even the tuotuo drivers is recommended to us by the last name Hun on the ground that it is extremely hard working person, but I'd much experience, but also good.

Peace of Angkor is a couple of the United Kingdom, the GH because they are too fond of Angkor, so just stay.

Their GH more formal, service staff enthusiasm, room no river star big, but also very comfortable. Here from the old market for some distance, you can walk, but we feel or by tuotuo comfortable, probably 1 knife/person, the owner doesn't allow blooded can cut into 2 1 knife.

Beforehand on Angkor, made a study of route, even routes are thought out, then discuss it with Hun, found him obviously experienced, fully in accordance with his line is gone, and all of the attractions will pull down, so I think to Angkor who worry about the routes without too, where the drivers are very experienced.

That day he took us to buy tickets, 40 knife/3 days, on the afternoon of free entry to Angkor, so we are very popular to mountain nesbakken watched the sunset.

Arrived already has a lot of people waiting for it, take pictures with some difficulties. But today's sunset is spectacular, flotilla. Watching the sunset, and took some pictures of the day is completely black, staff will advise you down, do not allow for long stay, this is fully justified, because here the step very steep, no lighting facilities around, down the steps after dark is dangerous. Down the best way is to have the flashlight, highlight no harm. On the day of the dinner is Hun recommended a restaurant because the taste, so I didn't remember the names, but their fruit shake very good very strong drink, taste, $ 0.9/glass, also points the AMOK, FRIED FROG and fried vegetables, supper total spent $ 11.6. Then ran to the old market shopping Shopping, discover the legendary blue pumpkin, just bought a chocolate linga and a cheese cake, like blueberries taste, delicious, 2 cake spent $ 3, the price is very difficult in BeijingBuy the same quality of cake.

DAY 3

Angkor tour has officially begun!

And Hun about good 4: 45 to GH meet us to Angkor temple to see the Sunrise, the results until five points has not come yet, then people who help us GH called pressed several times, 5: 15 arrived, he explained on the wrong alarm clock, put 4: 00am set to a 4: 00pm, he is very sorry.

Run all the way, I have the feeling of the race with the Sun, good in finally caught up with sunrise, but night Angkor Temple of reflection in the water and we don't see it, a bit of a pity.

Breakfast is in Angkor Temple opposite the restaurant eating spots around the restaurant really black crows, and Beijing, are slaughtered tourists, point out a bowl of noodles, 2.5 knife, expensive! suggest that you buy a power breakfast, bread, biscuits, or dotted.

After seeing two kids selling postcards, 1 US $ 10 tickets, and cool, so I bought an older point cards, as a result, the child of another child has repeatedly said: "what about me?"

Later even cried, give him sweets don't really silent.

Our first tour of small circles, the line is:

Angkor Wat（sunrise）—Angkor Thom—Thommannom—Ta Keo-Ta Prohm—Angkor Wat(sunset)

Angkor Thom in line as follows:

South Gate (enter)-Bayon-Baphuon (BA Fang Temple) — Phimeanakas (air Palace) — elephant bench — otherwise the King steps — Playa than figure — 12 Tower Temple

Which Grand recommend Angkor Temple, BA Rong Temple and Tabou Chi Temple

Today very laborious, sunlight extremely dry, so no less buy coconut, 1 knife 2.

Noon in order to save time and in the morning that shop to eat, spent $ 9, bought a chicken rice and a pancake, 2 personal basic food, but also extremely old, good chicken in our comes with beef jerky.

Evening to LP recommended Khmer kitchen Restaurant (Khmer kitchen) for dinner and ordered the fish Amok (because on the last night of Amok is not very satisfactory, and therefore does not have satisfactory will never stop) and curry (chicken), rice is free, there are 2 cup shake to mix, a meal for a total cost of $ 9.

Amok here is delicious, suggest to you to try. Khmer kitchen food is cheap and good prices generally in the $ 3, rice free.

DAY 4

This rain, but fortunately today ready to see the Sunrise, or white back, laughing.

In the morning to go to the post office to send a postcard, a is for 1 knife, stealing money, foil stamps have a knife. Back to Beijing after reading the post, a post at 11 MM, Angkor Wat, the result of postcard haven't received in November, depressed, so advise everyone not sent.

This want to Khmer kitchen breakfast, but they don't answer the door, then go to the blue pumpkin, bought a carrot flavor of cake and a sausage bread, good taste, spent $ 3.5 and luxury.

Today's routes are great circle:

Prasant kravan (cardamom Temple) — banteay kdei (spot Dai GE TE) — sras srang (Royal baths) — pre rup (grain Temple) — east mebon — ta som (Tower 's)-neak pean (Lung Poon pond)-preah khan (Holy Temple)-Angkor thom Bayon — ' s south gate

Grand recommend Ta som and Preah Khan

Today's Temple in addition to the sword in the temple is relatively large, relatively small and not very exhausting, noon is not very hungry, 2 personal did eat a bowl of noodle soup, which, in fact, instant noodles, not bubble up.

Fortunately we have a beef jerky, once again strongly recommends to scenic spot-light and dry food.

Today's relatively ample time, read the Holy Temple, it was found out to watch the sunset time still early, weight tour over BA Rong Temple, not like that everywhere is the smile of the temple.

Then go to the South Gate to watch the sunset, on the edge of a Lake, the scenery is also good, but today's sunset is not very good, a cursory reading went for dinner.

Once again went to the Khmer kitchen, had previously mentioned the porridge, and point a curry, and a snack, local dumpling, turned out to be the leek stuffing, with flavoring, taste so so.

Night in the old market to buy some souvenirs, postcards, scarves, table cloth, key ring and some small sculpture, is sent, the last found not to buy things.

Things are not cheap, just look at all the owner doesn't allow skills. Feel like buying something here than in Phnom Penh in Russia market shopping, and the price or cut some types of books, pirated or compare all.

DAY 5

Today's routes more substantial:

Royal Bath (Sun)--ban musjid to color — — female Palace – high Boothe bin — collapse mealea — Robert Luoshi group

Today's trip is perfect! basically full recommended! very distinctive

Ago 2 days are sitting tuotuo car, but today absolutely no, if you select a car that I not only tuotuo admire your courage, but also admire the courage of tuotuo car driver, because it places the distance, bumpy road, in particular to the high Boothe bin and collapse of dense column road

The muddy road from time to time, dust, coupled with the holes in the road, it is difficult to leave. We rented a car, a total of 72 USD, comfortable, air conditioned, but also saves a lot of effort. Collapse of dense column are $ 5 admission price.

Magnificent Royal baths of Sunrise, Banteay color musjid silence, female the Royal Palace of exquisite, high-Boothe wonderful waterfront in sculpture and the mysterious collapse of dense column for our trip to Angkor was a perfect picture.

High Boothe shore water sculpture was very interesting, namely the so-called Chin Lin Caleb HO, here met senior staff, he was very enthusiastic tell us hidden in the water of the engraving, without him, we might have missed a lot of carving.

Collapse of dense column feeling absolutely, definitely have to go there!!! is just like in adventure, mystery and barren atmosphere, the relative resistance to deterioration and vitality, people did not trip.

Here be sure to find the wizard, or getting lost is inevitable. LP tightness column on the collapse of the roadmap, we wanted to go by a line, but found that it is not possible!, at the beginning of a staff member to us means a small doors, Let's drill into it from the door. The doors of wood, entrance is small from the outside, inside forces'prime, we can't believe it has to be entered from the door, because it simply does not like to visitors. We quickly decided to let the staff as our guide, proved our decision is correct, although there is a wooden plank road, but in most cases, to pass through the dark corridor, climbing in ruins, there is no clear instructions were very easy to get lost. It is precisely because of her this wizard, we did not miss some fine carving of Buddha in the ruins, corner shihou, and even see a fracture of the sarcophagus. Better than adult Wizard, because the child climbing the process sometimes depends on the strength of a person is not acceptable, you can always pull you in adults. She did not want the wizard to the US, just sit on the sidelines, we are 4 people gave 2 dollars, she is also very grateful to us. The overall feeling that people here are simple and kind, but compared to Angkor temple near is secular.

Individuals feel Luo Luoshi group, because the temple is small, artificial restoration marks serious, but in the sacred Bull Temple heard a lecture tour in the monastery of the linga, and, quite interesting.

Noon in the collapse of dense column in the small restaurant casually took some similar cover meal food, 2 knife/copy, we have a 2 person, is the cheapest one lunch.

Dinner is also recommended in LP a restaurant to eat, I feel so so. name forget, after the supplement, huh, huh

DAY 6

7: 30 in the morning by the returned to Phnom Penh, but 8 points before departure, the people here seem to have more love late!..

Reach Phnom Penh found scheduled River Star not send people to meet, it is estimated that ran the wrong station. We found on temporary in LP a recommended GH, also in the River, called BRIGHT LOTUS GH, room no River Star of good, but after all, the price is slightly lower, and overall feel. LP on 18 dollars room with small balcony, can now be appreciated, 18 dollars is a standard room.

Settled, went to the National Museum, found in the opposite, glad I didn't GH wrong place to live.

Angkor temples in many of the sculptures are kept in the Museum, it is interesting to look at. And then went to the Russia market, inside the clothes and not like LP said so well, are fake, we did a careful washing. Here is a very difficult to cut the price of souvenirs, cherish the old market ... or not to go to the Russia market.

Dinner in the LP recommended restaurant restaurant to eat khmer borane, point a, wrapped in sweet palm leaf inside fish and Lok Lak (beef, it really is a bit old), with hot and spicy seasoning, acid, has a lot of character, taste good, recommended.

Because the River is very near, sitting on the river bank, see fishermen on board, the sky always cook chat play lightning, storm may come, pineapples, a winds, we went to a nearby shelter from the rain, the FCC found here early to overcrowding, can only fight the other bar, point to the local Angkor beer, $ 0.8/vials.

Here's the rain came quickly to go fast, on the way back to GH ran a cake shop and found inside muffin $ 1/a, a big, bought when the next day's breakfast, choose wisely, muffin tastes good, component, and a person eating a feel.

The cake shop is a foreigner, next to the FCC, especially hard to find, the name seems to be the beginning of F.

DAY 7

8 points of aircraft, 6 points in GH-find a tuotuo la us to the airport, the asking price 6.5 knife/2.

Phnom Penh airport is not an ordinary black, and window your airport service charge, $ 25/person, it makes me spend Pocket last few dollars. Duty-free shops are not cheap, cosmetics than expensive lot of Frankfurt airport. Arrived at Guangzhou, Baiyun Airport staff informed of the transfer to the consumer in duty-free shops, this depressed!.. You can only run internal counter to buy now.

Summary

Angkor VAT in Europe and America to visit the main crowd, Japan and South Korea tours later, China is like ours *** buffet line.

In the temple, the protection of the environment are very good, no littering. For some of the temples, statues, sculptures, the Government failed to take protective measures, just beside the small sign that tells you not to touch. Visitors were all very consciously, in Angkor temple gate seven Hydra Naga total around next to many visitors, but no one touch it, just to watch and photograph. This reminds me of some of the Palace, giraffe-beast that is the Bell with barbed wire.

Comparative history of Cambodia's customs, I hear from them up Word is "thank y

Ou ", most people are friendly and polite.

7-day trip ended and Angkor Wat to my memory is very good, all recommend this wonderful place, but also to plan to go there in person — protection of Angkor monuments of Angkor, caring for the environment.

TIPS

1. Introduction to the book, we take a may blooming, an LP.

Recommendations to Siem Reap and buy this ancient of Angkor, content targeted at the monument on the relative detail, of course, are pirated, glossy, $ 4 or $ 5, but the entire English basic staff of the foreigner.

2. the camera memory card capacity to large!, a spare battery preferably with, here you almost can't bear off camera.

3. at least spf30 sunscreen, the higher the better, too dry, sunglasses are essential

4. mosquito repellent fluid, local drugstore¡ also sell

5. candy, to local kids, but now the children are increasingly unable to meet the just candy...

6. dress is benevolent see benevolence, Moses.

I wear short-sleeved pants, fear of being bitten by mosquitoes, sport shoes. See Occidental men wear short shorts, sandals weighed in (of course, is the outdoor private Sandals weighed), the woman is more beautiful, tape-cut neckline, shorts mini-skirt, nothing. However it is not recommend wearing a mini-skirt, Angkor Temple side step steep, basic from top to bottom to 90 degrees, from bottom to top of the window, some foreign MM really spring leaks out. But people really inconvenient.

7. books say preferably with shawl or anything, because here the dust is very large, in fact, I think the mask is also good, many local people are choosing masks instead of water.
