is nothing big deal here, the weather is damn hot, it look simple, the road very narrow, car very less, bike a lot, people also a lot.
the town is dusty. but lucky we had van for travel.
1st day visit 3 temple. keep walking keep pouring water to my mouth, keep shooting, keep exploring.
all the thing look new, all the thing look weird to me. the story told by the tour guild. the story did sound amazing, it sound surprisingly miracle, but the story behind the builder for all the temple there never told by the tour guild.
for the 1st day rush is totally off duty at the night. cant visit at night market.

visited for the last temple on our trip manual. the last temple is make by different kind of stone. what it really call I really no idea. Due to the tour guild info this kind of stone is more harder than the normal stone that other temple use. therefore the craving is more detail and more strong to stand till now.
the next stop, water fall. the tallest waterfall in Cambodia. the waterfall do stunning even in dry season, if other season i believe the waterfall will drive me crazy.
fisherman village. a small village that all the people use to stay above the lake. they use to be fishing for their living.
riding about with the driver only 14 years old. Imagine back what i doing while i still in 14 years old (ai....) this boy really good in handle the boat, he handle a boat all by himself. respect !!!.
after a short boat ride. getting more understand the culture of the Cambodia people.
they really teach me a lesson for the living method. the point is is doesn't matter you are rich or poor. as long as you able to cover your living expenses, then you should feel happy, other than Malaysia, there are even more country, which the people don't even have money to get food, don't even have clean water to use...
think about it if you where born from there. what will you do...
after work need to hand over my car in somewhere far from my home for the big repair, it going to cost me till bankrupt, but yet i still need to repair it.
after settle at the workshop, it already around 2130, it quite late to catch bus or any. so the worker send me to the nearest train station. the PWTC KTM train station.
When i step in the train station, i just notice i have more than 10 years didn't take this train, maybe around 15 years. Remember the first time i ride this train is when i was still very young around primary school, the KTM train system in KL are just started few months ago.
so my dad plan bring us to have a train ride visit. when i small, my home financial is so bad, for a simple travel we will all very exciting. we all like to travel all together with whole family.
i cant get a very clear for this memory, but it do make me feel happy while still waiting for the train arrive.
when the train arrive, inside still very empty. i get my sit i look out to the window, although the train is fast but the scenic from the rail way is a lot different from the 15 years ago. remember that time every station we past by it just look like another small kampung(village in malay), but now i saw a lot new building.
i finally realize actually KL do change a lot, in the way i didn't notice. every time in my own car with fast speed, not even have the time to observe the environment of the town. after half & hour i reach my destination, my dad is waiting me outside the station.
for this slow ride let me slow down my foot step, and also give me a lot refresh. will plan for the next time :)
