Cambodia-Siem Reap - 12 December 2009

Pork and Vegetables

Our first taste of Cambodia food for dinner. Quite similiar to what we have in Singapore, just our package from Chan Brothers tried to provide us with chinese meals throughout the trip.

Prior to dinner, on arrival in the afternoon, our first stop was to visit the floating village of Chong Khneas. We enjoyed a traditional wooden boat ride on one of the largest lakes in Asia, Tonie Sap Lake also known as the 'Great Lake' of Cambodia

Floating Village

Can you imagine all the houses are on this lake. People travel by boats just to get across, some even swim across. The life they lead, makes one reflect on how we lead our lives in Singapore.

One of the beautiful sunset that I have seen

How often do we slow down in life just to appreciate mother nature, and to spend time with the people who truly matters to us. How and who spend how time with, reflects our values and the priorities that we set in our lives.

So peaceful

This is how one travels - can you imagine doing this daily?

Where the children study

Beautiful shot of sunset - Cambodia gave me the opportunity to take shots of life and made me realise how blessed I have been. It was also a trip that changed my mindset of life.

Darkness about to descend

After dinner we proceeded to Siem Reap Town Hotel for 2 nights stay. It was more like a 3 star hotel. The next day was pretty exciting.
