高棉吳哥窟練蘿蔔之行 ( Cambodia 2011 Dec) Part 1

Angkor wat 3 day pass, Paul 看起來很俏皮!



< Day 1>
是的, 我又過家門而不入了!


這次仍然是由expedia 訂multi-destination, SFO->金邊->Taipei->SFO Eva airline. 但去金邊又會在台灣停兩個小時轉機, 所以囉, 不入境, 過家門而不入, 但失算的是, 我原本以為只要行李不check in, (check in 會直掛柬埔塞), 把沒用的放在carry on行李裡, 帶上飛機, 到桃園機場時我可以把這些沒用到的行李寄存或存關在機場, 六天後回來可以領再入境台灣, 可惜機場人員説轉機沒辦法, 除非我出關寄存再入關, 唉! 怕時間不夠,只好帶著這幾箱傢伙跟著我闖吳哥了!

Yes, I bypassed my home again!
This time I still booked from expedia.com , with multi-destination, SFO-> Phnom Penh -> Taipei -> SFO. Going to Phnom Penh, we had to transfer at Taipei for two hours, that's why I said " I bypassed my home!"  But I screwed one thing, I thought as  long as I carry on my luggages in stead of check in, I can leave them in Taipei airport during those two hours transfer time. Very sad, I found out I couldn't when I arrived Taipei, unless I went into the custom and back again, however, I didn't think we have enough time to do that. So, I can only bring all of them with me to Anker wat(total three).

跟我出生入死了不少地方的伙伴們 ( one was checked in already)


經過20 個小時飛行加轉機, 終於到首都金邊了, 出境大廳真是充滿了渡假風, 隨後叫了taxi 去今晚落腳處--Blue Lime hotel, 才剛進門馬上奉上毛巾和百香果汁, 泳池一看就是讓人很放鬆,心情飄~~,  服務也很好, 請櫃台小姐幫忙代購明天一早七點半去Siem Reap 的巴士票($10, Sokeh Komar, 不是Mekong express), 之後就到房間歇歇...

After 20 hours flight+transfer, finally arrived Phnom Penh. The arrival lobby is very relaxing. We took a taxi to our hotel today -- Blue Lime hotel. After just walked in, they gave us towel and passion fruit juice. The swimming pool was very relaxing, too.  They have very good service. Also help us book the bus to Siem Reap tomorrow morning 7am. ($10, Sokeh Komar, not Mekong express) After that, we went to our room to take a little break.



只可惜沒電梯, 房間在四樓, 就當作是為了吳哥先練練身體囉!
東西放下後就出門隨便走走, 這裡車子真的也是隨便開, 几乎沒看到什麼紅綠燈, 每個方向都可能有車子,大家自己小心點兒呀~~

The hotel doesn't have elevator, and the room is at 4th floor. We exercised a little bit....
After put down our things, we went out to take a walk. I have to say people should take care of yourself because I seldom see light, even they did, only for reference. cars might come in every direction....







年紀大了肚子容易餓, 4:00 就在找晚餐...真是...夠了...
I think it's due to the age, we are easy to get hungry,...start to search for food at 4pm...

lonely planet 推的餐廳 


什麼都別説, 先來杯local beer...


Amok, 當地著名食物, 吃起來像是有椰奶, curry,..的飯


第一天先寫到這兒, 我去游泳了!!
This is our day one, break for swimming!



< Day 2 >
今天一早吃了旅館提供的早餐, 巴士派tuk tuk 來接我們, 不知道叫tuk tuk 的原因是不是因為開在凹凹凸凸的路上發出"tuk tuk " 的聲音? 巴士也很準時七點半發車..一路上, Paul 一直拍窗外風景(一路風景其實看來都差不多), 我除了寫blog, 就是睡覺、吃零食...

After we finished the breakfast provided by the hotel early this morning, the bus company sent tuk tuk to pick us up. I am  not sure people called it tuk tuk is because of the sound? (because the road is not flat, the car made the "tuk tuk" sound). The bus was on time, started at 7:30 am. On the way, Paul kept taking photos(actually the scene was almost the same on the whole way), while I was writing blog, sleeping, and eating snack.

巴士冷氣太強....這...不是襪子麼!
The bus ac was too strong, somebody stuck sock into the hole...

11點時, 司機讓大家休息30 分鐘, 我們只能上個厠所, 買些零食, 但司機卻能火速用了午餐, 還抽根菸...佩服!
Around 11am, the bus driver gave us 30 min break. We can only use the restroom, buy some more snacks, while the driver can finish his lunch quickly, even had a cigarette.

下了車之後, 就到處尋找網友們常提到的炸蜘蛛....靠, 連蟑螂也可以炸...




路上買的青芒果, 配上像是蝦米攪碎的粉, Paul 很愛 !
The mango mixed with some smashed shrimp, it's Paul's favorite!


也許是經過長期戰亂, 人民很貧困, 很多斷手斷腳的人,還有面容全毀的孩子跟我討錢....., 似乎每個人背後都有些不為人知的故事;有些畫面, 請原諒我按不下快門,...戰爭摧毀了這些人的家園, 親眼見到感受更深刻,大家來一起跟戰爭説不吧!

Maybe it's due to the domestic war, people here are very poor, and many people even lost their arms & legs. There was one kid with distorted face tried to ask money from me.... It seems everyone has their own covered stories.... Please allowed me I couldn't take shot on some faces, because I can not,.... the war destroyed these people's home & family. It's more impressive when I saw it in person. I think we should firmly say No to the war!

經過長達快七個小時, 在我快撐不下去想要咬人時, 車終於開到siem reap 了, 本來之前是跟網友頗推的Monkey King email 訂下四天tuk tuk package, 但可能他實在太紅了,擠不出時間, 所以今天來接我們的是他的朋友,Rat..(怎麼都是動物名字? ?)

After almost 7 hour driving, I was about to bite Paul, finally we arrived siem reap. Originally we booked a famous tuk tuk driver -- Monkey King , through email. Maybe he was too busy, he refered his friend, Rat, to us. ( all named after animal? )

Paul & Rat(tuk tuk driver)


Rat 先載我們到Hotel 89 check in (我從booking .com 訂的), 然後請他載我們到old market 吃下午三點的午餐,...來個柬式火鍋、Paul 還叫了curry, 還有法式土司三明治...我們真是會吃!
吃飽喝足也四點半了,還趕得急去小吳哥看日落,.. 先排隊買三日券($40USD/per person), 會給人照相並列印在票上...請看第一張照片

Rat took us to our hotel to check in first, (hotel 89, from booking.com ). Then he took us to old market for our 3pm lunch... We ordered cambodia style hot pot, curry, french sandwitch.... we ate a lot!
After lunch, it's almost 4:30pm. We planed to buy Ankor wat 3 day pass ( $40 USD), and followed by sunset at Ankor wat.

來鍋柬式火鍋吧!甜甜鹹鹹的湯頭很不錯.. (cambodia style hot pot)


Tuk tuk 四處橫行 ( You can see tuk tuk everywhere)








小吳哥日落...拍到月亮都出來了! 這個地方明天一早還要再來一次!! 美翻了   ....


Hotel 門口...有個小橋, 如詩如畫..
