angkor under the rising sun

It's quite torturing i would say to wake up 5 o'clock in the morning to be in time for the sunrise. This is particularly difficult for a person like me who wakes up even at 9 am during working days. :(

The hawkers are really good businessman. They know everyone who comes here at this hour needs coffee. USD1 for a small glass of coffee which comes with a plastic chair. Freaking expensive right?! The coffee is not even strong enough to wake me up.

Bian set his tripod. We sit down to wait for the sun and enjoy our 'breakfast' ~ coffee n cigaratto. :p But it's worth waking up so early and waiting.

Then we rushed to Ta Prohm before the site is flooded with tourists. This is where Angelina Jolie 'Tomb Raider' was shot. Nothing so special because it's full with ruins. It's the signature cotton tree-covered entrance that attracts most tourists.

We are hungry by now. Our driver brought us to the local market place for breakfast as we insist we want the real local food. But some of the local food is not within our acceptance level. Flies cover 1/3 of the food, do you dare to try? We decided not to take unnecessary risk and found one clean noodles stall. Slurrrppp.... OOOOHHOOO..... it's delicious.. simple and nice and it costs us only RM2. And the gal gave us some mini yam for free :p

they use radish to cook the soup.. it's nice! yummy!!

this is the yam we got it for free. it's nice to eat with sugar.

The weather is hot and dry. Waking up early in the morning and visiting one temple after another under the hot sun is no joke. By today, all four of us facing digestion problem ~~ constipation. :p You might wonder why I wanna tell you all this here. But to us, it has become a common question to ask each other whether we have done the "big project" for the day. kekekee... And we normally give ourselves ample time to 'polute' the clean and nice restroom within the angkor area. kekeke... :p

I think everyone should be tired of the temples. Cut it short. Just tell you the route we took for the day.
