4 Sep, Beng Melea

As promised, Its Beng Melea time, a temple located far far away from Siem Reap, Took another 2 hours to reach there. Its all ruins with interesting passageways, slighty dangerous, very exciting and strangely deserted.

By the way, fat people in Siem Reap are rare!

Happy Pizza Time...

Its pizza with some SPECIAL herbs that's kinda illegal elsewhere.. Once in a lifetime, so gotta try!!!
Deceitfully normal

Suspicious Herb

To great disappointment, the pizza didn't make me happy at all..
In fact, I felt scammed...-_-'

White Tiger after his Infamous meal

The Infamous White Tiger was captured licking his lips after the crazy malaysian suicidal incident.

He was also caught saying,
"老虎不发威你当我是病猫!"

6 Sep, Almost Ending...

After my soul searching cycling trip, I returned back to hotel to prepare my gear for my trip home next morning..

My Room Key, What's with the checkered design?

Creepy Entrance

Corridor to my room.. Yes, its THAT dark in the day.. I did not tweak it at all

6 Sep, Cycle around Siem Reap

One day before I left Siem Reap, I cycled around this area, to Tonle Sap and West Baray
A lot of emotions and feelings swell up in me during this cycling trip.

My Ride

I was so dark...

Mud and Toil

Ripefully Old

Quietly

It Blooms

Staying Divided

Clouds that travels for miles

Water in Water

Chinese??

5 Sep, West Baray Again, Angkor Night Market

After the town trip, I decided to R & R at West Baray again, at the same time, give my driver some tuition on English ( wanted to do something for the education over there as well)

Dinner was settled easily at an open space along Route 66, where a lot of locals hang out and night races happen there too. Its a fantastic city view of sunset.

5 Sep, A Day in the Market

I'm gonna skip 4 Sep, Beng Melea's visit first due to some videos that needs to be fixed.

5 Sep morning, I headed to the Old Market District of Siem Reap to experience local culture.
