This Is Home: Siem Reap Trip

I was away from 18th till 21st of may. While everybody were studying in school, ironically, i'm having fun and relaxing time. Man... i'm already in form 6 and i'm still having a sweet time for all these. Only 2 days i missed my studies in school, i felt i'm left out and clueless about my studies right now. =.= Guess the only way is to use this holiday to catch up again. Today is teacher's day in seri sentosa and many other schools in malaysia. As usual, a some little performance by the teachers and students, games and karaoke session that comes with a band. Along with the celebration of teacher's day, the school also celebrate the retiring ceremony for a well known sentosa teacher, pn. zaiton. Coincidentally, today was also her birthday. So, 3 events in a day. Not bad man. Haha...

My trip in cambodia with my cousin and aunt was totally a different experience. Well, cambodia is nothing similar to any other countries that i'd visited. From my point of view, i can see most of the peoples there were living in poverty. I don't see much development of infrastructure right there and most of the peoples there were still living in wooden plank house.

The uneven sandy road.

It's really sad to see the way they live. Sighs...

On the first day, we arrived there early in the morning. We visited the tonle sap lake. Talking about the tonle sap lake, it reminds me of sejarah i'd learned in form 1 and 4 about the tasik ton le sap. Lol... Well, this lake is huge as though it feels like being in the sea while you're out there. Besides the brown water lake, there is also a fishing village on the lake itself. Yes, floating on the water. It's sad to see the life of the villagers there as most of them are poor. I remembered on a boathouse where we stopped, a young boy kept following and begging me to buy banana from him for a US dollar. It's really sad to see the way they live and have to earn some money for their living such a young age.

The boat that we rented to cruise around the lake.

A pipe that directs water out from the boat. No idea what is it really for. Haha... Lousy me.

The look of the villager's house in the fishing village on the lake.

Their boat were beside our rented boat as they came by to sell some thirst quencher drinks.

While on our way back, these kids ask for donation to raise their education fund.

In the night, we had our dinner in siem reap town. It is a small town that is filled with tourists. well, in this town especially the night market, it's much more commercialised compare to other places as there are many restaurants and pubs for tourists.
