Ambulatory in Angkor Watt


It is in Angkor Watt. Actually Angkor watt is bigger than my expected. It takes for one day or more to see whole buildings.

I took a nap many times in Angkor Watt because i had to walk under sunshine. Taking nap for me was so nice moment.

First my memorable nap was in Taj Mahal, India when i was nine years old. Taj Mahal was also under a scorching sun, but shade of Taj Mahal was pretty calm. In addition, the building was made by marbl, so it gave us cool feeling.

Next memorable nap was in Tikal ruin, Guatemala. When I arrived at Tikal Ruin, it was really early morning before sunrise. Even opened the ruin already, but it was nothing to do. In addition, it was after taking long bus from Guatemala City, so i was really sleepy at that time. Yes, i fall into a peaceful sleep on some ruin's building. After sunrise i waked up by whistle of a bird.

When I went to Machu Picchu, I also took a nap. Some people were practicing meditation. I followed them by taking nap.

I think taking nap is precious moment during my travel.

Sunset Audiences in Phnom Bakeng


They are coming to see sunset, but it is pretty difficult to see it, That is why it is rainy season, so most of the sunset moment are cloudy or rainy sky.

The Other Part of "Ruined"


I think last picture and this one are the same things, but difference is as you know. There are a lot of this kind of ruined ruin in Angkor. Do you know why this kind of statues have been? That is why the Por Pot ordered the demolition of the statues. When I look up this kind of reason, I got mixed feelings. I am gonna writing about it later on this blog.

Thanks???


It is the noticing board of Entrance of Angkor ruins.

It must be really THANKS. Do you know why? People who want to see Angkor Watt or the other ruins in Angkor have to pay USD 20 a day, USD 40 for three days, and USD 60 for seven days. I know people have to pay enough entrance fee to keep being precious ruins. In addition, Angkor Ruins are the most important income source of Cambodian people and government, but I heard they can just get around 20 percent of the entrance fee. The other fee goes through some private companies. How poor cambodian.....

Anyway people from all over the world are visiting Angkor Watt, so the companies have to say THANKS, eh?

One Scenery of Siem Reap


Children are selling some stuff for foreigner. This scenery is pretty common in Cambodia.

An aspect of the picture is pretty sad, eh? That is why they can't go to school during their working.

On the other hand, they are learning many language, English, Japanese, French, and so on.
If they just sell post cards, books, or souvenir, their skill of conversation are perfect. Only for business negotiation, their english are pretty good. In addition, their attitude for selling something are pretty strong.

Yep, I can't evaluate this situation, but education for our life isn't only English. People should learn not only foreign language but also natural and social science. Anyway I can learn the most important thing from them.

Main Street in Siem Reap


In fact, this place is for foreigner because most of the places in this street are Cafe or Restaurant. Food price is not so cheap if it compare to local one. If we take a seat on first floor, many sellers enter into those places. I prefer to taking the seat on second floor.
