Siem Reap

Siem Reap: 25-27 August 2007

From left: Me, Daddy, Mummy and Aunty Lily in front of magnificent Angkor Wat, still standing after 200o years. Forgotten for centuries, accidentally discovered by lost colonial soldiers. Truly, it was entry into another world, another empire so foreign, so surreal. It was fascinating trying to imagine these ancient ruins in its former glory, teeming with life, activity and colour.

My fave pic; of these little boys playing with lotus flowers. I showed them the photo on my digicam and the smaller one was amazed to see himself!

The boat people of Tonle Sap's floating village. Very eye-opening.

I really enjoyed this trip although I was unwell. :) Relaxing, enriching.. Blessed by Aunty Lily's presence too, feeling her joy and enthusiasm for life despite her sicknesses.
