Time left Cambodia (6): Siem Reap impression

Siem Reap impression

微凉 wind blows out slightly, in pale blue light, Tuk Tuk vehicles energetically to Angkor.

In front of a group of people, accompanied by the music of vaguely.

Tuk Tuk drivers stopping quickly, he had two hand into a fist, thumb turn up separately and together, use this easy gestures told me, we met a team in escorting.

This is a long well-arranged, men and women, methodically yili.

Almost every hands has one or two pallets, containers with meat meats, fruits, cloth, jewelry and gold Buddha. Team a long are spectacular, but not too flashy. Most ordinary men clothing, women's dress is jubilant, wearing gorgeous yarn cage, you also put a jailhouse. Their step point light and rhythmic, just like stepping on music and dance.

This is my first morning in Siem Reap, Siem Reap has given me such an unexpected gift.

I followed all the tourists, to Angkor and Siem Reap.

Every evening, a day at Angkor chenguang more killing. See the most, is not a tourist like me, is the scenic area of locals in selling business. Tourists can be broadly divided into two types, one is traveling to the team Japan, and Korea are mostly elderly tours and the other is the absolute main backpack fit to Westerners. Many of them bought a week ticket, every day, or rent a bike in Angkor jungle walk through between, or bring a book, a bottle of water, in a quiet corner of the temple, the consumption of one day and a half days.

Compared to Chinese tourists less, but most are tours and many of the young girl.

Before I made a post until the back lot, is still one after receiving some links back, almost all girls. Perhaps, Angkor classic charm, especially susceptibility can impress a girl.

Scenic areas, there are a lot of small stalls, hawking water, coconut, Buddha statues and various color head and scarves, table cloth, yarn cage, t-shirt, with a plant seed conspiracy into colored bracelet and necklace, to do is to held mostly women, to see tourists comfortable saying.

There are many child, is very good at a personal pursuit to tourists, even without opening and bedding, to reach: One dollar!

In many spots, near to the entrance, you will see several short arm leg of disabled people sat on the ground, the scene playing the Khmer music.

How to listen to the music, has a melancholy. Before them was begging for small bowl, sometimes with selling recording good CD. It is said that these are in various wars and accident-disabled people, hope in this way achieve self-reliance.

They gave me another feeling.

And pleasurable, from all over the world come here to meet the spirit of the pursuit of tourists, they are the masters of Angkor real, they are familiar with Angkor in every corner, but the Angkor to them, have a more direct sense, is a means of subsistence.

In Siem Reap town, also has a lot of people relying on a living bar Angkor.

North-East of the city, is a splendid hotel district, Southwest is the backpackers of distributing center, here is the old market, there are many custom backpackers business Guest House. Before I made a lot of email to the GH, Siem Reap is found, an in-place to find it no problem.

Every night, I and companions at the opposite side of the street GH snack, a roadside rolling of dusty, Sandy big mouth to eat Khmer fried rice, meal also must have a glass of fruit Shake.

Siem Reap's Shake cold and drink the sweet, to finally even the throat are sick, you can still addicted to love.

One night, the streets, a Rimau suddenly come with my girls.

It was before starting at Chengdu online contacted, by virtue of my friends on MSN avatar recognized me.

This method of identification is really surprising, or alien.

If there is a boy, maybe you can be a romantic fun.

In Siem Reap to stay longer, many people will go out of Angkor, smoothing out a day and a half days to Tonle River look.

I choose a boat directly from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. November is a good season, rainy season is over, the dry season in the future, Tonle river water filling, you do not need to transfer to the boat. 5 hours of run-length mukojima, although Sun strongly, but charming scenery still attract people frequently out of the hold, enjoy, and linger.

The first half of the channel strip, both sides tall tropical trees and trees as if randomly built thatched cottage, in the blue sky and white clouds of relieved is poetic.

Or you can see the fisherman's pushing a boat, or in the thatched cottage next to lay out the tool, a good attitude like easygoing. The latter part, Tonle become Tonle, including a broad number of water, sometimes see as far as he could to edge, illusion, and exposure above the sea in the distant horizon in the distance, canoeing and birds and beautiful body. This time, had to believe the Tonle as Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake spell, also completely understandable Cambodians on this mother River of feelings.

Near Siem Reap, the water and the sudden narrowing, Chitou aquatic plants, is packed water building.

It is a complete aquatic communities, there are restaurants, shops, a wide range of boat House. Up on the shore, you can see the coast are water, hawking a Buddha column, door-Park with fishing boats. Thatched cottages although primitive, complements in the verdant Woods, but there is another kind of ease.

Just more to urban areas, the gap between the more obvious.

House are single-single family home, but close to the port area of special ventilation and crude, lying face inside wooden old people, children are their birthday to tourists and plundering the to food. Away from the wharf, House beautiful, more and more attention from one layer to the two-story wooden house from cottage to to color bright small villas, iron gate painted gold lacquer, underneath there is a garage, a car. Can't see the house owner, must never be complexion, exposure.

No wonder a bit over Cambodia's friends said that the boat you can see the "Apocalypse". Take the expensive tickets, this is value for money.

Tuk Tuk drivers waiting for us at the pier.

After 3 days, we go wherever the Tuk Tuk ride the cheap, even to the distant female Palace, Brolo's or even collapse dense column. The road twists to me is not a problem, Tuk Tuk vehicles surrounded by open, ventilation, but very close to my heart. The only trouble is the hot sun and wind up dust, but buy a cheap local Crama Plaid scarf Cambodia can solve all problems, there is also a good travel souvenirs.

This equipment is ready, sit Tuk Tuk vehicles out long distance becomes a pleasure.

The vast field of vision, without shelter, in one or two hour long trip, if you do not want to sleep, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the tropical Plains. Clouds in the sky, has been flying to the distant horizon, and beautiful wilderness loving wife. Farmers cross with ox cart, the cattle are systemic snow-white, mythology, go down. Roadside coconut trees grow tall and strong, tree cottage is like lying in the mother of a baby in her arms, contented people envy. People in front of the cauldron boil-up coconut syrup, gently lick a mouth, that it will cross the rich taste buds on the tongue firmly stuck.

On the way there are schools, primary schools, secondary schools.

The children of the Earth paving happily playing on the playground, born Yap, unrestrained gestures, a bit rough, but very dynamic. After school, the children were in twos and threes coming out from the campus, or on foot, or riding a bike to go home. They wear a uniform uniforms: white t-shirt, Prussian blue trousers or tube dress, foot wear slippers, toe clip or bare feet, back in body bags, oblique, or on a bicycle basket.

Before you read some of Cambodia travels, have referred to these schools and the students.

Travel notes that these children are the hope for the future of Cambodia.

I see the past.

The soil in the playground, the Moonlight, the cheerful, good, simple dress, drew me back 20 years ago. My childhood and youth, is in a similar environment. Mountains, water, trees, soil, a little bit country, a little bit of nature. And now, in my life, surrounded by reinforced cement, I could not find such a school, it's natural.

A subtle touches the hygiene, quietly, Ablation of the boundaries of time and space.
