Just want to go there again later to provide point of useful information, not to be online to spread the influence of obsolete Raiders, so it is long-winded liushuizhang remember.

D2: a first look at Siem Reap

From Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, the water three means of transportation.

Water is not recommended, because the boat is not large, and often overloaded, insecure, hurting, 7 hours of flight the middle would not have stopped to rest on the toilet. Aircraft just 45 minutes, but the price is no longer a 55 or 65, has risen to a peak season 90 82 knife, knife, so we choose to go roundtrip or land, the air conditioning coach, 6 hours of trip will stop two breaks is time wasted many imperceptibly.

Before repeatedly asked Stan, is not to the station you can buy tickets on the go, xiaoqiang said sure can buy tickets.

The results demonstrate that we were cheated him mercilessly, 20 7 a.m. to the accommodation to the nearest bus station, 7 points 45 to frequency has FULL, you can only buy 8 point 45 of the departure, 25000 real, that is 6 points 25 beautiful knife a ticket. Compared to China's tour bus, and many should be cheap. But once you get the tickets, the date the above cover is May 29, from this moment on, to know the local people is the concept of nothing time.

Leave the car also has a lot of hours, not anything else we can do, only around stroll.

Next to the famous central market, but only around a circle, because from the door looked like it was very crowded, worried about the lack of oxygen. According to go around the comrades that actually doesn't do things may seem, it is equivalent to the concept of East market, from jewelry to pork, why are there.

Back to the station sat down to watch the scenery, the police here appear to be just social order, regardless of traffic order, from the motorcycle, TUK-TUK to cars to pickup, almost no overloading, driving with Assistant driving seat can sit 4 personal, trunk open also by two men.

Streets full of hawker, baguette, fruit, mostly families with a Cambodian language features of both English and Chinese can speak a little English. Although the hotel daily 1 bottle free water, however large hot weather water quantity will increase, may wish to go to the station opposite the small supermarket bought two bottles of almost 750 Riel a bottle. Price increases not only in China, Raiders says 1000 bought two bottles of days already gone.

This station is located in the Center, the Casino of stone seats mostly sit is the locals, tourists are almost all standing outside looking at the scenery.

The waiting period also discovered the local monks respected. A hair all white a woman having two children sitting slightly crowded a squeeze, give a look up to 20 out of their seats, and the monks of her own still stood, monks have direct sat down and started to smoke! only know Chinese monks is drinking meat, not know smoking is not the scope of the withdrawal.

Departure after beginning also curious to see the outside of the scenery, but look for a long time could not produce fatigue, can't help falling asleep.

6 hours of distance are similar to the municipal road worthiness, bi-directional single lane, it seems, but the road is still very good. Two hours later, the first stop for rest, a small restaurant that sells a similar to a big sale box lunch here, your own selection of dishes. It would be interesting to try a look at those dishes taste, but still hope flies.

Around a lot of small stalls, selling all kinds of fried bugs should nutritional value is very high, but unfortunately I can't eat silkworm Chrysalis, nor dare to enjoy this delicious food.

Then there is cut a good pineapple and mango, almost a knife can buy two. Small sale of bananas should be flour banana, if a counter-offer, almost 2000 real you can buy a shuttle, almost two pounds. Most let me surprise, also saw a perforated with Blueberry, seem very good. But in the end nothing buy it on the bus.

Yeah, forgot to say that the toilet.

In fact, still good, there is a stand-alone mailings a mailings to a toilet, own water scoops from the spoon in the pool next to some water, I call it self-service flush. With toilet related, there is an interesting phenomenon, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap occupancy of the hotel, or even the Angkor area in toilet toilet side, there is a similar to a small shower, pondering for a long time thinking may be simple automatic washing tools? a such a small thing, it is better than a few thousand dollars of many cheaper electric toilet.

Car to the station, a bit muddled, here is a station? feels is a piece of open up a small gazebo, surrounded by barren, and car park in a muddy, carrying luggage found in cool down for a long time before I found a slightly dry place to be.

Here, far away from the hotel, completely in the dark. Fortunately, there are many TUK-TUK driver car people continue to follow a different driver, we also sponsor a knife's price on a car TUK-TUK and and this car has a three-day fate.

Almost lasted half an hour, where the intermediate result seems to be poor with the rich area, because the Siem Reap River after apparently found in the surrounding environment, the road conditions are good.

In fact, almost no one here to green, everything seemed to be by the day. Therefore, although always saw cleaners to clean the road, but could still stand a lot of dust. So, if for health reasons, it is necessary to take some disposable masks in the past, many people go on the road is going to wear a mask. If you have that covered my head with a shawl is also necessary.

All the way to look at the past, almost all large and small roadside hotels, many of which are named in Angkor, only Angkor with hotel also many other words, the newcomers to, will be very confusing.

Finally to our Pacific Hotel, visually in local absolute is impressive, especially the magnificent lobby, the entire first floor and second floor, pick the empty design, an area of almost a thousand square meters, four star is strong. Check-in time to experience one can speak fluent Chinese guy, theA clearance is easy, but it is recommended that you carry your own luggage to the room, although the waiter can not accept tips of cases sent to the room, but how long to wait before zhibuding.

Open the room doors, and was alarmed, big room, with unprecedented 50 sq.m if placed in China, how much is the suite of area, floor-to-edge next to 10 square meters is completely free, and two beds, each one almost all blocks to catch up with the double bed 1 m 5, luggage rack is also very strong, and emissions down two suitcases.

The bathroom is almost 7 m², shower room and bathtub co-exist, the outside bar counter every day two bottles of free water, refrigerator, lockbox, only small is the TV, it seems only 25 inches, it looks a bit hard.
