Cambodia :: Siem Reap :: Day 1

As our flight time - 7am(its too early for me) so i decided not to sleep before the day and hang out til late! On fri(the day before fly), i went to movie with friends and after it~we chilled out at somewhere to waiting the time to go airport.. When the time turns to 2am then, we went to dim sum session..Excited yet tired me,hmm~ Btw, thanks to Fai&Yv for fetching me to kl sentral after it, much appreciated =D! --- Additional matter to shared -- Before take air-bus to airport, i found that i've MISSED something out....i forgot to bring my camera charger!!! *CRY* my mood was just suddenly 'down' to the max~ But no choice, because i got no enough time to return home to take it...what i can do is just leave it and keep myself an excited mood^^

Our 1st lunch at siem reap..
 
 - Tonle Sap Lake -
:: The largest freshwater lake in South East Asia
And this is the jetty, we are waiting for the boat to
bring us travel along the lake.
We are sitting on a long tail boat..
This is the main transportation way for local and also tourists.
  
Floating school
Cruising along the lake, you will be shocked to see that
life revolves around the lake and everything,
I mean everything is on the river.
From schools on boats to churches on boats,
the scenery is filled with boat houses and so on
How's people live there, it is simply amazing..
*It is very sad to know how good a life we have when
these poor people are happily living things as they are in Tonle Sap =( 
There was even a crocodile pit!
No kidding~ A live crocodile for tourist to gawk at..
Averaging about 4-6 feet in length too. 
Its time to take a group photo here^^
- The Silk Farm -
A personal guide who will walk you through the whole process of Silk
 Here is the factory of processing silk..
These colorful silk threads are the end result
Resting time.... *Random shot ~
The Blue Pumpkin Ice-ream store.
Mango flavor! Soooooo yummy *must try*
 - Death's head Place -
These are the innocent people who died at the hands of
the Savage Polpot Regime in 1975-79 =.=
 Many of the cambodians were died at the period~
The way they being killed are toooooo CRUEL,
 and when u look at the pictures there..i guess u will tears out ='( 
The temple beside the death's head place..
 - Phnom Bakheng -
"Phnom" simply means "hill" in the Khmer language.
It is a hindu temple on a hill..
*Climbing up the hill is quite tiring...but for the view from the top,
especially before sunset, its well worth to climb up~haha*
  
Staircase! 
Can't imagine we just spent 5 mins to climb up to hill~
.........because going to rain soon
Takut gila la *.*
and Yay! we are finally on the hill,
but too bad as we got no chance to see the sunset because of raining T.T
  
This place became a popular tourist spot-
for breathtaking sunset views of the Angkor Wat..
After Bakheng, we are totally hungry to the max -.-
We had dinner at 1 of the restaurant located at Pubstreet
- Temple Balcony -
Apsara show - Cambodia traditional dance
Dinner-ing...
Here is the Pub street - the most happening place at night time
Its near to us, just walk 5-7mins from our guest house^^
Something excited !!!!!
