Day two edited*
It was 8am.After we had or breakfast,we headed into a place called Angkor Thom and here consist of Bayon(where the famous stone faces located at) and Baphuon.At first i spent a lot of time getting a good shot at the face,but only later the tour guide told us that there's plenty similar ones further in.Well it's only one of the 5 gates, :P These 5 gates ,each represents something different.It was in mandarin,but roughly she said that if a general won a war,he comes in one entrance,and if lose,he'll come in through a different entrance.Ada orang mati also have to use only a specific entrance or exit.
And of cuz we went the Elephant Terrace and Terrace of Leper King( if i'm not mistaken).It was one hell of a walk as we went Ta Keo as well.They say the stairs there are the least steep compare to the others.I see no difference man. >"< .Normally they exit the place through victory gate.I wonder how ugly is the "death"gate if there's one. Pictures wise,today is a good day for them.This is only part one of the day two,and i think i can beat wikitravel in terms of quantity and quality :P
1.38pm over here now,and we're resting in the hotel.We're leaving again 3.30pm for Angkor Wat.Alright time to sleep.Catch ya tonight ;)
Night came and it's time to tell you people about Angkor Wat.1st thing you'll notice,there's no steep stairs for you to climb.Thank god,cuz i realized that my legs are screaming each time i lift them up. Renovation is going on there,right in the middle and tallest part.Sigh,that was also one of the best spots for sunsets.Nampaknya saya tak de jodoh dengan sunset la.Pictures were alright,i manage to find a few spots similiar to the ones showed in wikitravel but i am not sure if my pictures won wikitavel's. :x
Just when the 35 degree Celsius started to take its toll on me,we went to a place called Dead Fish.To those that have plans to come,this is a must try restaurant ;) I had tempura and pork steak.Excellento!!!!! A friendly reminder though,better bring ur own drinks there.Manyak ants laaa. Other than that,the food and the environment best sial!Before coming back to the hotel for the desperate bath,we went to the Angkor night market.Whole dam bloody market consist only 4 items ;
1.miniature statues
2.Handbags
3.Same design of shirts at each fucking stall.I'm serious,pls do believe me.
4.Probably fake silver items
And as promised,i'm here blogging about it.Sigh,i wish you were here to listen rather than reading this.Btw,did i tell you that there's not even one star in the sky of cambodia?
with regards,

Day one. *edited*
it's 1011pm over here in Cambodia.Those pesky hotel works closing lights around my area just make me realize that it's time to sleep.So after i checked into this Tara Angkor,the 1st place i went was The Killing Fields (Cheoung Ek), (About 17km south of Phnom Penh). This is where the Khmer Rouge killed many thousands of their victims during their four-year reign of terror. Today the site is marked by a Buddhist stupa packed full of human skulls - the sides are made of glass so the visitors can see them up close. There are also pits in the area where mass graves were unearthed. It is a serene yet somber place.Yeah stole it somewhere in wikitravel.Can you picture a place where they kumpul all the skulls in one gigantic box looking thingy?Ewww goosebumps :P
I saw sunset for the first time(sort of) at Phnom Bakheng,where i climbed my ass up and the temple-like stair case couldnt be any more pain in the ass.Ended up didnt get any good pics because of my worried sis said "Eh dont climb liao,go find dad first."Sigh! In case you wondered,er there's only one OR two pic of the sun set.AND NO,it's not a good picture.I being bitchy,told this to my eldest sis,and she told me"nvm la,ada lagi sunset spots,take until u die aso can".Cb,different feel geh hou mou?!Then again,i forgot the name of the place that i went dinner at.Well at least i took lotsa pics of the performers.Can't wait to show you guys pictures of the places i went today but you all have to bear with my poor photography skills.
Jan told me nobody will care about me forgetting name of places.And i promised to say this out loud in my blog.Janice is pretty.There you go.I'll be back tomorrow night,hopefully in one piece.
Got to go now,bloody hotel off the air cond at the internet area.I get the idea,but i dont think the 2 girls beside me who playing solitaire get the idea though.LOL.
Good night,Chee Tat.
