Cambodia magic-DAY1&DAY2

Day1 Beijing-Phnom Penh

Although it is 14: 20 aircraft, but we are active in 12: 00 to the airport, this thought for departure clearance required charges a little time, but to the airport only know the departure formalities is in Guangzhou, so we had to wait at the airport in an hour and a half.

The original is China Southern Airlines in order to save costs, Beijing-Beijing-Guangzhou in Phnom Penh, and Guangzhou-Phnom Penh by passengers with a flight, the aircraft are in Guangzhou, with large public bound, Hula's a lot of people off the plane, and Hula's another bunch of people on the plane.

Before I booked a hotel car to meet us, but the plane was delayed for an hour, I am very worried that the airport will not have been waiting for us, if they can't wait to go back to the US, two in this 黑灯瞎火 night in that language in a foreign land can only with the good.

But when I walked out of the airport, but the surprise discovery of a local girl holding a piece of "MISS ALICE" looked to the inside of the paper, was delighted! we immediately rushed up, constantly apology that flight was delayed, but said a genius found that she did not know English ...

First arrived in Phnom Penh feeling very cordial, identification of the airport there are Chinese and Chinese on both sides of the road a lot of shops, including the "Royal Cambodian betting centre" the most striking of the brand.

But when the time did not meet customs officials ask for tips, I think, on the one hand we fill in when filling the form we are students, in addition to the gate also has clearly identified the "here for no additional charge", it seems they still had a reorganization.

Here's a way to see the car almost all Japan cars to Toyota Camry is most common, NISSAN's also very much, occasionally there is Land Rover, who said there were poor and rural country! we're seeking!

Our first night in the hotel is set on the CTRIP a Chinese open small hotel, the location is not very good, but as the first evening drop-in place also improvise and cheap.

Here's the waiter can speak Chinese, very enthusiastic to help us give the driver a call to confirm the Siem Reap tomorrow's pick up time, help our province a long distance phone bill:)

DAY2 Phnom Penh-Siem Reap

From Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, we buy is Angkor Express ticket, $ 10 a piece, very expensive, but the service is good in the morning on a Benz to hotel meet us, passing by the Palace along the Tonle Sap Lake got to the station, because it is a weekend, married with abundant along the way saw many fleet from around flashed, gongs and drums.

The Angkor Express bus with bathroom, air conditioning, car, also a mineral water and French small snacks. Is the car old on Cambodia's numbers, look a little bit noisy. Read the disciples "you will find that this way of scenery and a movie is like Ah, how, is full of lush grass and skinny cow. Along the way, also full of Cambodia People ' s Party of brands, occasionally saw several fengxin sebec party's brands, like partisan do not affect other people, especially despise the way buried bombs.

Car starting 7: 30 in the morning, noon and 1: 00 to Siem Reap.

A car, we'll go the next g.s.t bought a return ticket, only $ 4 a person. However the car's condition than Angkor Express almost, have air conditioning, but there is no water and snacks.

Before I contact the tuktuk drivers of Siem Reap is called SAM, is online at his reputation is also good, so booked his car.

Who knows this guy actually ran to the Mekong Express station to meet us, we are in place, and so on for a long time he was over. SAM's advantage is also English, communication with relatively smoothly.

Just arrived at Siem Reap, go to GH rest a bit, we at Siem Reap scheduled GH is SUN SENGKY, very good, room clean, quiet, bright, and close to the old market, go out at night in the surrounding shopping market, dinner, rent a bike-what is convenient.

4 p.m., SAM will take us to buy the tickets, Angkor Wat, 3 days $ 40.

Here is 4: 45 start presale tickets for the second day, and then on the day you can go to a certain spot holders, from the second day started counting the three days. Now buy tickets are not allowed to take photos, photograph, shrink-wrapped, mixed with fear of tickets. In fact, I remember that I make blind through customs, where officials even I and my sister who's who are not clear, with my sister's passport with my white live for a long time, then put my passport to my sister ...

We were waiting at the door also met two Chinese boys, they flew from Xiamen to Thailand and then turn to Phnom Penh, so toss.

The two also claimed to have a bus, Hey, I really wanted to see how they sit in Siem Reap, the truth, I'm in Siem Reap are seen here's what to look for the bus length.

Bought the ticket, we began to enter the mountain nesbakken.

Prior do not know what to mountain nesbakken how long will it take to go up, then go all the way down hard, who wants to walk 15 minutes to the peak. Interestingly in the foot of the mountain nesbakken a landmine victims band has been playing "999 roses" inside of that sentence, I would go so far, also heard them ad infinitum in that sentence, laughing to death. In fact, in Siem Reap to go a few steps you can see this band consisting of landmine victims, they performed in the streets and the sale of irrigation system, the price of $ 10 for CD. I would like to help them, but also very poor that $ 10 is too expensive for me. Although the number of mines here cannot talk to Viet Nam, but after all, be put in Cambodia also has 50 million tons of bombs. Here the average life expectancy is 57 years of age, most people died because of the bomb and bitten by a snake.

To most of the mountain nesbakken, above is the need to look for hands and feet.

When I took care ofClimbed up, looking, small hilltop is already occupied most of the tourists. The day was a bit cloudy, sunset, just saw a crack. But I still stick to the Sun completely fall before withdrawal.

6 point was getting dark down 6 points and a half times have all black.

On the way down the dark, also good prepared a small flashlight, and the path are the tourists of the torch lit up.

Good mountain nesbakken, don't sit on the elephant, blame you.

At the foot of the mountain, in the dark, and small traders after some bargain buys a set of postcards, than in the old market and buy cheap.

If you face the child doesn't have the heart to the owner doesn't allow it, then find a minor cut it, I was a middle-aged woman bought a postcard in his hand. Here is a book worth a buy >, < Ancient Angkor is a very good Angkor travel guide. It details the history of each scene and a visit to the focus, or even should, in each of the attractions remain long and around line. Estimate that this book can bargain him down to around us $ 4-5.

Buying things sitting on returning to GH tutu, small wind blowing quite cool.

The way we also see a foreigner fell off my bike men and cars with folding to the roadside, alright-street not buried bombs. It seems really dangerous to ride a bicycle, and on the road so black, it is estimated that the home is not easy to find. If you go to Angkor Wat play or ride, safety first.

Back to GH rest out foraging.

In opposite to a stall, GH, General local rice rice what $ 1, $ 0.5 shake, a good drink. He finished his finger, we in the bar street stroll, walked on to the famous dragon of the soup, cheap volume again-zu, eat a small pot here and got a Angkor Guide back to delve into.

I read the words on the back of the Angkor Guide, find here the brochure is published by the World Bank support.

Well, if there is no great attracts tourists, Angkor Wat, without international assistance, full street are all less leg arm deficiency in begging, that this country can do Ah.
