Siem Reap Trip with Friends 31 Oct till 2 Nov 2014

My first trip with friends after 17 years of working. No wife , no children , just friends !!

Wow, that's a wonderful feelings, travel with friends with a lot of joke exchange, laugh with them having fun together. I may experience some trips with my school friends, but that long time ago , with my father money of course.

This trip change my whole view on how to enjoy and forgot  the hectic live that I go thru day by day.
Full of fun , drinks , nice foods , good body massage by professionals, different environment, different culture, World Heritage Site visits. Not to say family trip is boring, somehow family trip restricted the overall fun. Holiday with friends bring back that inner youth feelings.

One important note to make, my dream to visit at least 15 wonders of the world have started, and seriously I will visit at least 15 wonders of the world don't care by which category before I gone.

The wonders that I complete so far :

1) Golden gate bridge - SFO - 2007 - company trip
2) Taj Mahal - India - 2012 - family trip
3) Angkor Watt - Cambodia - 2014 - with friends

My next trip is to Beijing , China on coming Jan 2015, target is to visit the Temple of Heaven , The Forbidden City and of course the world wonder - Great Wall of China.

The 3 day Siem Reap holiday where so fun, where we reserve the 2nd day for full site watch activity. Its a tiring trip where you took tuk-tuk to show around and they usually charge between USD12 to 15. The entrance where charged separately USD20 for 1 day pass.

Such a wonderful site, and of course the technology behind to make the temple that big keeps everyone visit the Angkor Watt mesmerizing.

We happen to arrive at Siem Reap on the Halloween festival, and the pub street full of people dressing in costumes and enjoy the hard rock / techno with dance all over the place put me in a different world. Such a enjoyable night.

The original Khmer food - minus the spring roll :)
