This is my first trip to Cambodia. So I decided to stay in Siem Reap and visit Angkor Wat and the temples nearby. Angkor Wat is one of the 7 wonders of the world. It took 30 years to build, using only manpower without the modern technology machineries.
We ended up in the cultural village on the 1st day. 2nd day was around Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat. 3rd day was around the temples northeast of Angkor Wat. On the 4th day, we went to the biggest lake in South East Asia, Tonle Sap Lake. In the afternoon, we visited the Roluos Group. We managed to grab some souvenirs in the Old Market and Central Market before sunset, which marked the end of our stay in Siem Reap. It's a pleasant 5 days stay in Siem Reap. Although the Cambodians live in poverty with an average daily salary of USD1, it doesn't stop them from being kind, warm, friendly and helpful.
