Travel Postcards: Angkor Wat - Siem Reap, Cambodia

The chance of visiting the famous Angkor Wat is no longer an imagination to dream about. I see and saw it myself a couple of times personally since I came here, thanks to the Lord for the opportunity He's given me and I am enjoying it myself.
The temple isn't just an ordinary one that you normally see in Thailand, Vietnam or Myanmar, but the structures done, the designing idea and the engineering itself truly left you in awe and in marvel. Many travelers and tourists couldn't believe on their eyes how such a poor country would have come up of building a huge brilliant structures in the middle of the forest.
Many telltales and speculations that the Asian civilization started in Cambodia since the Angkor Wat is much older than Great Wall of China and the Chinese history. Well, whatever the issue is - Angkor Wat is among  of the world's top 10 landmarks being recommended to see before it's gone.
You would only see the ruins and its relics but, the remains of the old Hindu temples would give you a perfect view of the ancient times.

Travel Photos: Foodies in Siem Reap - Cambodia 2

As a newbie in Cambodia, I have discovered tons of foods that are quite amusing yet, strange so to speak. I'm not hating the Khmers food, it is just that I still couldn't take them as my staple food...however, there are some stuff that are acceptable for me and somewhat edible according to my taste judgement. I tried to escape as much as I could to explore and capture new things that aren't familiar for me.
A new Cambodian friend had toured me around as I requested him to do so because I really want to experience the Khmer adventures that I haven't tried in my country.
Herewith, are the photos that I took earlier while I was having my rounds with a new Cambodian friend who served as my guide.

Travel Photos: Foodies in Siem Reap - Cambodia

It's been two weeks and a half since I came here in the land of the Khmers. Enjoying my teaching job just as the students are pretty good in speaking English.
Trying to familiarize myself around the nearby places & for that two weeks, I already gained a couple of Filipino (new) friends.
As a newbie, it's kinda hard what food to eat and buy in the market especially if you are in a foreign country. Though, Cambodia is just a neighboring brother of Philippines yet, we are still different in terms of food stuff. I tried to get some photos in the wet market close by. Honestly, can't imagine myself of eating these foods serving like this..
