cambodes, finally.

Ok. if you really, REALLY want a detailed recount of my cambodia trip, please be redirected to Nat's blog, which can be found on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Thanks.

This will just be a random uploading of photos i think are... interesting. nothing expressly to do with angkor wat or local culture, just cos i don't want to spoil it with my words. also, cos i am lazy. i am a philistine, deal with it hor.

picture taken from inside ruins at Bayon. pls enlarge, thanks. i think it looks like.... a heavenly door and is very pretty. actually upon closer inspection it is quite a lousy picture but WHATEVER. LIKE IT PLS, COS I DO.

this is PICTURE OF ROOTS FROM MY FAVOURITE TEMPLE, TA PROHM, WHERE ANGELINA JOLIE ONCE STOOD. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT ANGELINA WHEN ONE CAN BE AROUND HUGE ASS ROOTS SUCH AS THESE. the roots actually destroyed the temple. THE FRIGHTENING FECUNDITY OF THE FOREST, EH. THE FRIGHTENING FECUNDITY OF THE FOREST.

kids playing in the king's ancient pool. i like taking pictures of kids, cos they are faux arty.

on the Tonle Sap lake. i like the weird juxtaposition of green, blue and... teh tarik.

at Siem Reap's pub street, on the way to Temple Club for drinks. my unsteady hand made my two very alive friends look like ghosts. i think it looks nice.

various 'that's life' expressions after getting caught in the rain in phnom penh. BEAUTEHS, WE ARE. BEAUTEHS.

at the royal temple, because we have so much reverence and respect for royalty, we wowed them with half-hearted, half-forgotten wrestling moves. to this day, i know not why.

i was... very happy to reach the riverfront of the city after walking through the harrowing alleyways of inner phnom penh.

Photobucket
nice picture of a not very nice place: the Tuol Sleng prison which used to be a school.

OK I LIED, THIS WAS IN FACT MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE TRIP. walked to find this little local gem: phnom pleung (cambodian bbq). i had beef, squid, shrimp, egg, and vegs on my own little bbq pit FOR ONLY USD4 LA WAH LAU. seoul garden can kiss my oily a**. woo.
