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,
Chee Tat
