Go Angkor!


Why you should do Cambodia...

1) Because Angkor Wat is there..one of the ancient wonders of the world. And i've SOOO conquered my fear of heights there!
2) The kids are charming..streetwise..and real entrepreneurs.
3) Flight from Malaysia (KUL) to Siem Reap is only RM400....by Air Asia of course. Terminal is located at the LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) much further from KLIA but there's an RM9 bus shuttle from KL Sentral...
4) I would choose Siem Reap over Las Vegas..anytime
5) Beer is USD0.60 per Angkor Draft!
6) Ta Prohm,one of the temples I visited there, was where Tomb Raider was shot..most breathtaking with the tree roots eating into the structure.
7) For a Cambodian experience, staying at the guesthouse is great..only USD15 for 3 in a room with air/cond, hot water, tv,...and ohwell, you won't be in the room most of the time..
8) For massage go-ers, you'll be happy to know that 1 hour foot reflexology is USD6 and a full body massage is USD10/hour...
10) Cambodia is still culturally intuned- check out the Apsara dance, that is performed nightly in certain locations and is inexpensive.

Definitely the spot to go for a trip away from the city..
