"It was like a dream, the use of every single minute and hour with care. It was filled with ruins, that ran far from all corners of the earth. The echanted stories of gods and demons. Then came the people, humble and still affected on the horror that wiped out 3 million cambodians. Despite it, they are happy. Happy to live in their huts and paddy fields. I couldnt ask for a better moment and time."
it has been 3 days since we came back from siem riep. All seemed surreal and vague. However, i will not deny the fact that everyday seemed liked it was eternity over there. ( All in a good way :) People rose early, at 7 am the sun is already up in the sky and sets back at 5.30 pm.
1st day: we arrived, checked in. ohhh cute bellboy! everything was so close to one another. we had lunch at an indian restaurant. john introduced himself, such a nice man. then the imam came. We settled off to to visit the mosque. It was set on a bumpy road & huts. We were struck by happy lil kids. Started the distribution, it felt good :).
We went off to see the angkor's children hospital. So many sick kids & their mothers. despite that the hospital had a warm feel. We donated more & got our t shirts :)
we continued our voyage to tonle sap, what a great lake. mystic stories fill it and we watched the sunset.it was beautiful.
Had yummy food at the Khmer kitchen & did some fruit shopping
2nd day:what an early start, up by 4am, left the hotel (Preah KHAN) at ten mins before 5am. Got our id's done. set off to watch the sunset. OMG it was beautiful despite the billion and one tourist mostly koreans covering every inch of the ruins. Breakkie: attacked my the temple kids...i fell for it and bought some distributed candies too.
