Always plan to travel, and finally taking advantage of the company meeting opportunity went to Angkor Wat, a real travel alone. Before starting to do a lot of travel, learn Khmer smile and a red Khmer behind, do not need too many pictures, photo-few words of introduction is scares me this grow in peace. Until finally watched one of my colleagues, I also hesitate to my travel alone is too risky. However, it turns out, my idea is superfluous, though there is no asphalt streets, no tall buildings, but there still have a bunch of simple and kind people. The day in Angkor, apart from the shocking was also moved. September 15, after 6 hours turn, the aircraft was 0920 siem reap in Cambodia's international airport. From the plane window, distant only a few isolated lamp light, totally unlike the previously visited other tourist city, full of brightly lit. Colleagues could not help a sigh, "visible how poor in this country." I can't help but feel a mental misery. The aircraft and found that the airport while the very small, but very clean, great flavor. Sharp golden roof, surrounded by tropical plants, people suddenly feel the tropical region of enthusiasm and uninhibited. Out of the airport, we would sit on the hotel to the airport, the bus as we live in a Sofitel Hotel, the hotel is is said to be the area's most luxurious five-star hotel. Such an expensive hotel, I can't afford, so the last 2 days of your own backpack tour, I intend to change a Guest Hotel, one night only 12 dollars, calculate the price, you can measure out the hotel. Think about the last 2 days to "Heaven" move to "Earth", I cannot help but yaranshixiao, siem reap is the feelings of all contacts at a time. 16 September-18 September, three-day meeting, the real Angkor travel is 19 September. 19, on this day, the company arranged for us to Angkor Wat, the legendary Angkor, King Jayavarman II is built for rituals gods, building of the outer ring is a wide moat, Southeast, Northwest four entrances on both sides of each entry are churning the sea of "milk" statue, the left is immortal, the right is the devil, their hands are plucked with a snake, it is said that thousands of years ago, God and the devil is like a tug-of-war with snake as pulled their hair, compete, resulting in the sea are dry. This sculpture may be is commemorating this myth. To be honest, this fairy tale sounds very logical, I did not particularly understand, but it seems the magnificent Angkor Wat temples of each entry has the churning of the sea "milk" statue, visible this myth in the hearts of the Khmer people. Across the churning of the sea "milk", the Angkor Wat's the first circle, the first circle is one of the most prominent stone pillar-like window, each pillar is a never-ending mushrooms, like artificial diaozhuo, like is the result of years of weathering. A Cambodian child paved Zhang mats, slept in one window. I took the camera out of his way to bed, in my eyes, this photo may be a microcosm of life of poor folk, Flash flashes, but does nothing to disturb a child dreams Department, sleeping in his expression still so quiet and calm ... The second ring impressed me most is a set of a layer of stone gate, just before a crosscut, front view, you can see a stone gate. Pan-Green stone, the light-emitting surface, is telling the story of this used to happen. From one layer to the end of the shimen, as you can see the ancient that age, time of ring seems to be through the one stone gate toward us. Though, I saw a woman dressed in ancient Chinese clothes, head up to the plate, through one back to the door, and began to disappear in time. The third ring is the core of the temple, the temple Tower, built on top of the stone steps, each stone steps because of the time of the corrosion of the weathering the storm becomes smooth, narrow, so make this climb the temples, the road is very steep. Stone steps around the fence is not protected and can only be unarmed step by step gingerly to climb, as long as you don't bow to the look, feel or safer, wait until the top, look down, only to find that the original has just undergone so a steep ladder. May be because the war claimed this past glories, the actual core of the temple is simple and empty, is only a Buddha, but looking from above so that people of feeling fades away. Now is a piece of old Castle, although it was years and war mill went Halo, but still you can with the legacy of the mark, imagine that the "real wax" era of splendor. After leaving the Angkor Wat, we came to the Ta Pram, photos of the most beautiful and most mysterious places, the more people know this is because this used to be a shooting Tomb Raider. Angelina Jolie, exactly because the photographs here, claimed during the 2 children. But here's what attracts me not that Angelina Jolie star in effect, but the place of the mysterious and beautiful. Here's the old trees and ancient temple has full integration, Ta Pram disguised as another beauty, in order not to undermine the natural beauty, the Cambodian Government is not like other sites do some renovation work, but rather treat it as originally found when retain down, and this also gives us another novelty visitors. Enter Ta Pram, as if entered into a magic world, this may be a child's fairy tale story of a mysterious forest hut, just that it is a bit rusty, broken wall ruins, MOSS has filled the walls, temples of ancient trees before using it sturdy tree roots hold this brilliant moment's dynasty. Standing here, let me emotion, where residues of the building in shows us a once glorious era, and the residue of the broken wall ruins seemed to speak out against war, cruelty, and the eyes of MOSS and surrounded by ancient trees is more like a time witnesses, it your own way quietly watching here has been the tremendous changes. Leave Ta Pram, we were brought to the ship, ZhanInverted at Cambodia's "floating house", here we see a real sad spectacle, harsh living conditions, a group of shabby baby sitting in the bowl, naive play their own game, some of them even victims of landmines, no arm but still enjoyed himself. But I cannot accept that they should take a mouse to make toys?!, 20 September, I fall into the hands of the "Heaven" and "room" on the first day. Morning, enjoy the finished in "paradise" of last breakfast, and a farewell to colleagues, I would take the Tutu. However, I live in is not a Guest house, nor is any one hotel, but the other day in the city during the meal, the awareness of a Chinese owner of the restaurant. The boss was born in Cambodia, but lived in France for ten years, with France's nationality, in the famous Elysee Palace in the hotel bar, also done some political officials had advanced photographers, Cambodian King, senior officials and the State of Brunei, etc. seem to be of the King and he has a very close relationship. Dining in a casual conversation, he was informed that I will be leaving in 2 days in Cambodia, it kind of makes me stay at his restaurant in the empty room, these rooms this is used to develop as a Massage room, although very simple, just a Simmons, but after all have air conditioning and a separate bathroom, and a $ 12 Guest house conditions. But I choose to live here for a bigger reason is that here I feel more secure, after all, the Red Khmer description also in my mind still vivid in my mind, the alien, a fellow human, seems to be out of some kind and a sense of security. In addition, his hotel location is very good in Siem Reap's bustling centre, next to the bar street and near the old market, many supermarkets and convenience stores, instant on the last day of one person alone in Cambodia, also will not worry about being too boring. To lay down their luggage, I immediately started off to the legendary Angkor, King Jayavarman VII built, Smiling Buddha witnessed zhenla countries most brilliant era, it is said that the Buddha King Jayavarman face is the face of the construction. Unfortunately this morning, the weather is beautiful, first began with just the rain falls, Lek to Payan temples, rain has become a driving rain, I can see the statue at the entrance and a cloister, only he kept the forward, ran to one of the Buddha's head down to shelter from the rain. Station in Khmer smile smiling, along the stone gate looking outward, one of the statues in the rain, rain washes out of a smile on their face, the water ran down my face contour slowly poured, suddenly, that he does not seem to be smiling, but crying, watching the bankrupt city, he had people, is not his heart is bleeding? rain gradually go from big to small, but how many affected my mood, hurried North Gate of the Temple from Payan, go see a small stall selling coconuts, before and seen many travels, mentioned here coconut is delicious, 1 US $ 1. So let the Guide asked about price, 2 1 USD, so I bought two, one for the tour guide, a left since. Think about it, nor count me in please him, is he the identity of the local people earn a coconut. My tour guide is a young Cambodian boy, still in College, originally I was going to find a Chinese tour guide, but yinchaiyangcuo, dialed the wrong number call him, so he chose him, when the challenge yourself in English. He is very good, very taken care of me, if you drive to a not particularly safe place, he would remind me to pack away, there are some local people, with very ambiguous tone asked me, he will give me the eye, they signalled don't care about, and then help me rescue. Maybe he is the student did not tour card, he's asking price is very low, USD 1 day, 10 tutu car 9 dollars, but I think others quite good, but one person is reading struggle, finally gave him 25 dollars, he is very happy, I also think it is very comforting. Eating coconuts, made a short rest, we came to Phimeanaakas, tour guide told me that this is the previous King used to display the sum of high gold Buddha is made of pure gold, the Buddha's eyes are made of diamonds, priceless. Therefore in order to prevent theft, in this high-profile around digging a deep wide a protection River, if you have burglar intrusion protection must be after the river water wave sound alerts for information security intrusion. But even so, in the end it was still not able to escape the war ravaged, jinfo has long ceased to exist, now Phimeanaakas look but is a stinking in the middle of a tall stone, looking at everything, but I remembered we Chinese Yuan Ming Yuan. Left Phimeanaakas, we saw two rectangular giant pool, but the guide told us that there was once a King's bath, King of the net behind to go to Phimeanaakas, rituals gods, previously the water in this pool are considered holy water, civil people, are to be holy water baptism as a symbol of good fortune. But now the holy water is not a former Lotus is a Wang stagnant water, also no longer be treated as holy water. But the Royal Palace and the suite have been completely without trace, as the King's residence, it is already in the war were razed to the ground. Unfortunately, not from some clues that some ancient Khmer people's lives. At the same time, but fortunately it's a good thing we have forbidden city, you can help us by some of the stories of our ancestors. Then, came the Pranam Temple, a bit here but still a complete entry, others are already broken wall ruins and turntables in MOSS. Then, we walked a clock tower and mountain nesbakken, likewise are dilapidated scenery, but from a little shredded, and interpretation of the year when some of the more scenic. Always let me touch between the brilliant and lonely. Night falls, a tired and a little residual excited, I finally got a tutu car back to the restaurant. Here is the lanterns, the intensive two or three street centrally on a variety of different styles,Bar and restaurant. I naturally chose me live restaurant dining. In fact, this restaurant is the more advanced one, with a bit of French sentiment, could this boss ten years France lifestyle, restaurant with five free Internet access, cafe on the platform with a variety of glasses and bottles. Restaurant window design is a bit like the Angkor stone tablets, great flavor. Boss was very nice, and I talked about some of the investment project in Cambodia, as well as his past experiences. I point a famous local specialties moak (this is the restaurant's specialty), while enjoying the cuisine, and his boss, chat, and Cambodia and Brunei heads of State.
After dinner, walk slowly fill the bar street, the street, feel free to find a bar through seated sitting, ordered a glass of beer, blinking neon and passionate music enjoy the city's top human life.
Here's the bar street is simple lane, but again very delicate elegant layout, much like SanLiTun is different but here's a beer whenever 0.5 dollars. Under such attractions, people seem to have forgot he was in Cambodia, forget this used to eat after the looting of the war and now are experiencing disaster and hungry people. A corner of the city is broken water rafting of shabby housing, children and victims of landmines are sad eyes, another corner of the city is the most luxurious five-star hotel, the neon lights of glass interleaving. While in the city's two horns on that let the Khmer people are proud of the Buddha, he always smiling watch this city, bloody past of King, gloomy ...
This is Cambodia, Angkor VAT a shocking and moving city!
