Siem Reap, Cambodia

I think this is the first time that I post something about my vacation.
I seldom post things about my vacation because I don't really know
how to put them into words. However, I really want to post about Siem Reap
because it's a very nice place to visit. 
It's actually a very small town and there's only a main road named
六号公路 with other small junctions.
Angkor Wat is very beautiful and it amazed me. 
The ancient buildings over there were really huge and
it really took them time to built them. 

I think I'm being deceived by the US dollar as everything seemed cheap.
Indeed, they are not! 
Because most of the drinks and alcohols were sold from 40 cents to 2 dollar. 
If you convert it, it's a normal price for the soda drinks but not the alcohol. 
The alcohols are priced way lower as compared to Malaysia!
It's a heaven for alcohol lovers!
I'm not so sure about foods because it was included in the tour package
that we joined, so I have no comment about it.
In conclusion, things that I bought were at a slightly higher price.

Also, the Khmer massage that I had was great.
Although it was way more expensive as compared to those we saw
on the road, but it was the best massage that I had ever had.
It's very comfortable and I fell asleep while she was massaging for me.
It's painful, but at the same time relaxing.
It's one of the things that I enjoyed the most over there.

Despite that it's a town in Cambodia, my friend thought that it was the Korean
village of Siem Reap like Ampang in Malaysia
because there are a lot of korean shops and restaurant there. 
From foods to cosmetics, you can find a wide range of korean products over there
as compared to some of the local shopping center in Malaysia.
The korean brand ice-cream is cheaper there too!!! =D  
But our tour guide said no to her guess and told us that
there were actually a lot of korean tourist over there and thus,
when the demand is high, there'll be supply.
I can even find cheap korean brand mask over there! This is crazy... ;p

Another reason that it was a pleasant trip because
although there were a lot of tourist from all over the world, 
westerners, Koreans, Taiwanese, Japanese,
there were comparable less uncivilized orang dalam tourists!!!
So, I didn't met with any rude and uncivilized tourist!!!
I FEEL REALLY GOOD!!!

Will post more photos when I'm done transferring them to my laptop...

Happy New Year 2024

 今年對我來說是一個新開始, 因為我真的要結束我“念書”的日子了。 想得到很久的master也在去年得到了。 但是我沒有想像中的激動,開心一定的。 我現在面臨的問題確實身份曖昧, 我必須重新定義我的專業身份。 同時我的生活也有很多的不確定性。 如果要說,感覺上3天3夜都說不完。 ...
