ofcourse we bought it during one of the low fare sales, monthsss ago (lastyear i think)...
(funny how some people asked me if it is because sibotak went to cambodia lastmonth?
apaaahalll lak aku nak tiru dia??? dia kene ke cambodia in a very lastminute notice kot, aku pon takla se clingy tu kot nak tiru tiru dia.. pffttt)
and as expected, there're actually nothing much to do in siemreap but if u are a fan of arts & culture, u'll sure loving it.. and the services & stuffs are quite cheap.
our hotel room rate are only 10usd pernite perperson.
tuktuk's price are around 10usd pertuktuk perday. lenjanlah kemane pon.
for me, visiting others' culture is such an entertaining and fun way to learn about history & life & ofourse cultures, maybe arts too, but im no artsy fartsy except i loveeeee taking pictures..
i did get a hit by a friend afterwards, actually, reminding me not to post pictures of the 'berhala' (mostly patung2 persembahan) and religious praying monks.
thanx, i do accept it as an advice nonetheless, but, i didnot remove them from my fb, insa Allah, by all my heart, the pictures are only for picture-taking's & arts-loving's sake only, nothing more, and nothing worshiping or faith-revoking agenda to subside it. insa Allah.
on the first day, we went to tonle sap by river cruise. the tix price is 20usd perperson (quite expensive tho).
if u are aware of siemreap's topographical view, there's a big famous lake mengunjur from siemreap towards phnom penh. the name is tonle sap. it is listed as UNESCO biosphere. as u are also aware, anything UNESCO-d fascinate me (dont know whether it came from my real fascination or because it is already unesco-d, but i prefer it as a fascination lah).
The Tonlé Sap is unusual for two reasons: its flow changes direction twice a year, and the portion that forms the lake expands and shrinks dramatically with the seasons. From November to May, Cambodia's dry season, the Tonlé Sap drains into the Mekong River at Phnom Penh. However, when the year's heavy rains begin in June, the Tonlé Sap backs up to form an enormous lake. (from wiki).
and yup, we were lucky to be there during the rainy season, we had the opportunity to be on top of tonle sap larger lake topography. the floating village (which accommodate tonle sap lake) during dry season mostly floats away to the river to avoid turbulances/.
besides enjoying the river boat ride towards tonlesap, we were also being taken to the floating river's school (made by unesco for the poor children & orphanage) and we had the opportunity to give charity (in terms of seguni beras) to those poor child (it was actually forced, tp kite nawaitu kan je lah utk besedekah kan).
after tat, we went to visit the war museum. nothing much here, just few picture taking and ketua tingkatan (warrie) wanted us to visit the killing field afterwards but we rejected it sbb penat giler (dan malas dan lapar ahahahahahahha)
us being diva.
so instead, we went to have our late lunch at khmer chef restaurant (halal) and i had the chicken loklak with rice, they had fish amok, chicken amok, etc etc.
the taste is merely the same like malaysian dish. loklak tasted like ayam masak paprik. amok tasted like green curry. sedap.
selepas kenyang itu, we went back to hotel room and ordered the in-room service massage. they charged us usd6 perperson for a wholebody khmer body massage. i got a good masseur, i tink. that made us all fall asleep rite after the service (mcm service apeje kan sampai jadi lalok giler).
we planned for the night market tour that night, tp, semua kecundang. plus, we slept for 3-4hours only lastnite to catch the flight (tido kat surau lcct lak tuh).
