Siem Reap (Day 2)

Day 2 started with an early breakfast before our tour to Angkor Thom. Our tourguide, Mr Sip, was already waiting for us in the lobby when we are done with breakfast. To get into Angkor Thom, we need to pass thru some villages on dirt roads. We were then given an entry pass to all the various temples around Angkor Thom each. We arrived at the South gate before long and was greeted by two rows of statues resting on dragons.

One the left, it was the symbol of God with smiling face... And on the right, it was demons with huge popping eyes. Here is the elephant terrace that led us to the 'Bayon Temple'.Inside the temple, most of the towers are carved with four faces which are worshipped by the Hindus & Buddhists. We met 2 young monks and took some photos with them. Before we do that we have to know the rules and that is, there shall not be any kind of body contact.

Here is a photo of me rubbing nose & kissing Buddha's face...Hehehe... It is not what you see it is. Just a camera trick that did it, cute isn't it?

After Bayon Temple, we were supposed to go on a hot air balloon. But unfortunately, the weather was rather bad that day. We only get to take photos of it instead. So sad... Well, next will be 'Ta-Phorm' temple and 'Angkor-wat'. But it will have to be in the next entry. Tired la.....bye for now, have a nice day.
