Origin of Cambodia - with Raiders (a)

 Obsession for the origin of Angkor in a Carmen a passport, sir, the first stop asking me where to go, the answer is likely to Singapore, but my heart turned to Cambodia.
friend laughed my previous life must be a wandering monk, not lazy and have gone through many parts of the world I, continue to follow the former path. Oh, if this is also very good, perhaps before I, then the obsession on to Angkor, the world although the call for a long time in India, can really do have to go first in Cambodia. < br> do not see any data, just laughs in May, the same flowers in full bloom in May, along the footsteps of Carmen, with a wandering heart to see optimistic about it. The results posted on the travel plans a lot of sites on a well-meaning friends began to contact me, until then just know that in May in Cambodia, too hard, and high temperature, rain, does not seem the best travel season. So, I was to listen to advice to eat Rice guy, immediately homeopathic steering, in time for the end of good weather, hope for a long time to see Angkor, this was thanks to static, because of her encouragement and support, contributed to this trip. of course also like to thank Classic , caught off guard situation, I am still encouraged to see the world according to their own mind hh
this trip, and I still naughty perfect partner, it is a coincidence that we travel together with the quiet couple, a man in , master seems to have a lot of confidence, but has repeatedly told to be careful, not by the patience and run around, hey, I'm actually a coward, come, do not want to go all over the place, not improper actions.
because it is the first trip abroad, they still chose to provide Ctrip air tickets, accommodation services. While Ctrip booked two weeks in advance of Cambodia, Angkor 7 days free exercise may be the price or slightly higher, the air tickets booked through Ctrip, Mekong Express line and from the ticket, accident insurance, day Friendship Hotel accommodation in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap day Chinese tour guide service, full price probably more than 3,700 point. Static to help us provide the accommodation and back to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh accommodation, for a 500 money, packed their bags, you're done, just waiting for departure.
14 at the airport the morning of 11, would also have duty-free shops in the walk around thinking, what the results of Terminal 2 ultra small, terminal is a palm-size, let us rather abruptly surprised not to eat, but to discuss with the security check out Tiandu Zi, Tiffany eating a meal, eat, and had to return to the small room to continue and so on. idle boredom, opened a camera class, naughty clever, but the camera slowly spoke about the use and basic operating skills, just bought the machine a few days, she would immediately get started, and in the next few days, seeing shot out of something, really great progress every day, ha. naughty said she called out good for Nigeria which, distorted music.
two aircraft took off from Beijing to Guangzhou flight 3 and a half hours, in the middle transit pass inspection After 6:30 and from Guangzhou to Cambodia about 2 hours, arriving around 20:30 in Cambodia. (Beijing time 9:30, one hour later there than in Beijing, and suddenly make more an hour that day, the United States ah!)
Customs where many staff can speak Chinese, which surprised me, he switched to, can also be proud that our country becomes more affluent people's lives around the world go around, so those countries will understand the times to fill Chinese this course, proud Canadian pride ha. did not encounter bribes, it is estimated that the return to come to cable, watch the smiling faces of the officers, stealing his heart think of the calculus, not help but smile.
took a TUTU car to the hotel, got to open it, only to find the driver did not know where the address of our hotel, can not understand why he kept nodding Kazakhstan. In the end, under the guidance of our group, in accordance with the signs one by one to find , sitting on the side of the roadside stands I saw the sign of emergency ordered a halt to find, just arrived in your area, you can find a way with the locals, I was a monkey bird sixth sense, we will do when I have a son Dopey, others not working when I am more so that.
to Phnom Penh there is one happy thing, is that Beijing circle of butterflies Laner was there, just us that they returned the next day, two girls poor law and order in Phnom Penh, holding their own maps, walk all the way back alley to find, really made me feel foreign land case refresher, the pro-ah. in the account of a series of notes, the parting Kazakhstan. really admire them, two people in the 11 point of the night, strolled back to the hotel to go.
sat 7:30 am Mekong Express to Siem Reap, the time has arrived is 13:30 a, GH (guest house) with them to stay free of charge service driving is a fat boy. whisper say, the driver YA, be regarded as a special case in Cambodia, because Cambodia can see everything you must be thin, people of this, the chicken so that the inn cat, can generally say that as long as the breath of very thin, and some animals even to the bones of the situation. then I wanted, then a hot day, leave me in the past two months, the same can be thin, the oil is really drying out of the sun Kazakhstan , the next few days, we had considered a handful of severely addicted. So many people say there's beef is not good, when I saw where the emaciated cattle, each time ordering, I have bypassed beef , toward fish and chicken. tell the truth, the chicken is not good, because too thin, no meat.
the living room at 8 hotels, room was good, but the noise is too noisy people, and I and naughty Neural large section, every night secretly vowed to move rooms the next day or for the hotel, play on the day, exhausted, again, please forget this result, the evening continued to torment and continue to swear, mainly Terry who is the boss super good but no change in the ground, he accounted for 90%. mainly my English sucks, with Terry the Chinese exchanges, can understand what the situation is simply that I inquire about the package in Siem Reap. Ye Hao great people to help us set the He is responsible for ensuring the safety of TUTU car, returned to us a lot of local customs. more importantly, is to introduce the delicious Cambodian-style hot pot, where you can live, but do not live in Room VIII, in that night , tormented by the noise, my heart has cried Kazakhstan.
originally wanted to write in chronological order, and then sum up the Raiders to be a friend anxious to go, I first Raiders of the first. Fangshanglai a lot of flowers, Do not worry, the scenery will take your time. Do not have high expectations, I comparing the level of people sweat.

Unfortunately, the effort we bargained bad, all three were killed essentially set the city to the airport is not justice, and the hotel is also given a car thought it was leased it, the result is a black car, also received 15 knife. Phnom Penh, security is very bad, when the robbery occurred, to sit with their own tutu attention to the package.

live:
live not recommended, Friendship Hotel in Phnom Penh in general, though not so scary to say the network, but still make do with it, similar to Beijing's Award, often power outages, but also stopped 1,2 minutes , air conditioning is too old, deep hum, but were tired, lying on the bed and fell asleep. Breakfast is also good, more kind, certainly enough to eat. Do not listen live on the network what capital 3, went to , is completely deter, super bad place, thought it was a hotel it, the results of it in a market, the name on the wall a piece of paper, a person pass into the wide country road, is a simple 20 years old building, 3rd floor, climb up the dark, the room opened, I turned to go downstairs, and an musty odor. bad law and order in that city, safer than all else. And that kind of break room, actually dare received 12, severe dizziness, do not understand that describes how people here going on? please go with the tour I have to please do not go there, and like many of the people there are being given the recommendation to go to the flicker . Results-turnaround results, live back to the Friendship Hotel, the result is 50 of the bed room.
live in Siem Reap ei8ht room, good location, near the old market, they are a row of houses above the hole, similar to the blinds , is said to be used for ventilation, breathable result is that no noise, is basically the same as sleeping in the street. Fortunately, the first night, second night dog one night, third night motorcycle ran the night, the first four days, actually heard the grinding sound, and made me the kind of dream is killed. But there is no comparative quiet street of the house, you want to select the room to think about this. boss was very good very good, did not say that this point . the room of your local small operator, we live in ordinary housing 20 a night. air conditioning, television has, to see Chinese Taiwan. across the garden room 24, we would like to move in the past, full of pity. His next door is golden temple villa, has been tempted to move, consider the terry has been taken good care of us, really sorry in person moved into the villa next door, missed this experience, unfortunately, Kazakhstan.

Also, do not talk about where the local people, political events, the background of complex cases, each person's point of view is different, do not provoke each other a good thing, right. so please avoid talking about the problem in Vietnam, Thailand and the Khmer Rouge problem.
Cambodia, malaria, dengue fever endemic areas, so take special care of mosquito bites, long trousers are necessary, In addition water is particularly important mosquito.
