Cambodia


The country which go through several wars is indeed full of suprises! I visited this country somewhere in July 2006 with 3 of my friends. My first stop is Siem Reap a city in the northern part of cambodia. Our mission is to step our foot in angkor wat! This huge Angkor wat complex will takes you approximately 3 full days to explore. We did not but still manage to see a few of the important one! the Tha Phrom, The banyon and the major angkor wat complex! It was magnificient! It is definitely a must see when you are here! Others interesting places include the Floating village, Tonle Sap lake, cultural village, killing fields and a few more to add to the list! A very poor country from my point of view, where the average income for one person a month is around USD 50. The nightlife was a tame one indeed. however if you know where and how, you will find alots of fun. We did lucky to engaged an experienced driver which helps us alot! We have lots of fun on night and that is really fun and enjoyable! This is something that i'll remember for a very long time! Try the local food which is cheap and delicious! A meal at a side street stall for 4 person cost only USD 2.50!! We did went to Phnom Penh the capital of cambodia from Siem Reap. A very chaotic city and the traffic was in a mess! nothing much to explore here except a few sight seeing places ( Royal Palace, National Museum,Killing Fields etc.) Nightlife is vibrant with many choices to choose from; nightclubs,karaoke,disco,bar etc. Challenge yourself if you dare, nightlife kick start around midnight and continue till the early morning! I prefer the laid back and country side live style of Siem Reap! I hope to be back here in the very near future.
