Cambodia

Last week, my family and relatives went to Cambodia. I must say Cambodia isn't that all bad. WeiHan told me the food is horrible, and my mum's friend told her that the weather is burning hot. Well, some of my meals were actually tasty, and the weather is somewhat similar to Malaysia.

Comparing Malaysia and Cambodia, I feel like I'm living in a 1st world country, though both are also 3rd world countries. At least we have high rise buildings, clean food and much better hygiene. Cambodian roads are super narrow, with a thick layer of dust over it. Whenever a vehicle zooms pass, the dust gets blown up and create a 'smoke screen'. Yes, no exaggerations, its that bad.

To the tourist part of Cambodia, they have Angkor Wat. One of the ex-7 wonders of the world. The tour guide told us that Angkor Wat failed to pass some test which caused it it's place in the list. Anyway, I don't think Angkor Wat is that great and mighty as portrayed in the Form5 Sejarah text book. For a non-artistic person like me, Angkor Wat is just rocks, rocks and more rocks. When you notice something new, it'll be stones, stones, and more stones. Thus the equation,

Angkor Wat = Rocks + stones

Nevertheless, the sunset view in Cambodia was great. From some temple above a mountain, and from a boat on Tonle Sap lake. Speaking of Tonle Sap, that lake is HUGE. It looks like an ocean from ashore.

Enough of talk, now to the pictures.

Finally, picture of the year, a sunset view from Tonle Sap Lake. Yes, it's a lake, not an ocean.

There is more to the trip, but I'm lazy to tell it all here. Interested to know more, can always come ask me directly. Oh yea, Cambodia is a really really poor country, so pls pray that the people there will have at least their basic necessities to live.
