Cambodia
Hello Angkor Wat! I know there are a ton things to see in Cambodia (Phnom Penh, Chambok, Sihanoukville, Kampong Cham, Siem Reap). Let’s get started!!
- Tuk-Tuk night tour and night market:
- Tunnel Complex, Killing Fields and S21: This was a very sobering day.
- Cu Chi Tunnels:
- Killing Fields: They built walkways so that you don’t step on the bones, but you can see human bones on the surface of the dirt.
- S21: Genocide museum. There were two survivors signing books at the museum.
- Cu Chi Tunnels:
Chambok: We were at a homestay and went on a hike to a waterfall. The 3 dogs that followed us on the hike killed a cobra. The cobra was divided in half – half for the homestay and the other half was for us to make cobra soup.
Sihanoukville: This is the main tourist beach town in Cambodia. We took a boat ride to the neighboring islands!
Kampong Cham: On the way to Kampong Cham we stopped at the spider market. We did a bike tour, road on the bamboo bridge, and stopped by a English school to talk to the children! You can tell that they are very proud of there boat.
- Spider Market:
- Bike Tour on the bamboo bridge to a neighboring island to stop by the English school to talk with the children. You can see the Kizuna bridge at night.
- Random pictures of the town. The town use to be a french colony.
Siem Reap: Angkor Wat, Ta Promh, and Angkor Thom
- Sunrise at Angkor Wat:
- Ta Promh:
-
- Angkor Thom:
- Tonle Sap: Floating Village.
- Artisans of Angkor: It seems like an art school. Young adults apply to go to school to learn a craft (ceramic, lacquer, woodwork, silversmith, etc.). I though the sign language poster was great. It is interesting that there are so many different forms of sign language.
