My Cambodia Trip..... Part 2

First thing on the second day was a trip to Angkor Wat temple again for the sun rise... but... Well it's the rainy season so... it's more pf seeing a cloud rise then sun rise. Yet everyone of us were happy to be there again...

After failing to catch the sunrise... we went back to hotel for our breakfast... after that, we went to a Arts school... where the people of Cambodia went to learn Arts and Crafts. Come to think about it, they are really very good with their hands... Just look at this sculpture.

Next was the culture center where you get to see a miniature Cambodia.

Next we went back to Angkor Wat... this time we spend 2 hours there. Finally get the chance to climb to the top to have a breath of fresh air...

Just by standing at the top, you'll feel that your brain's not working, your lung's full of fresh air, your legs are weak( after all the steep steps) and the person who design this temple is crazy... The steps aren't for people with short legs and big feet... Heard from the tour guide that they design this temple this way is because temple is heaven to them and it's hard to get to heaven.... but what about when u get, won't be it very dangerous? Maybe getting down is to remind them of the hardship in hell...

Next Bayon temple.... the famous Tomb Raider Temple... I just find this temple eerie, well think
about it.... a big tree growing on top of a poor old torn down temple... who won't find it eerie?

Finally one last photo before i stop for the day...
We manage to leave our bosses out of this shot...
