Siem Reap (Cambodia)

Text written in: English

3 days ago after a comfortable bus journey we arrived to the nice town of Siem Reap. The main income of the town is tourism and you can feel it with hundreds of people trying to get you to buy what they are selling (moto ride, postcards, water...), and just in case they think that pressurising you will convince you to buy, they follow you down the road and circle like the kids, but this is bearable, we have seen a lot worse elsewhere. Cambodians are the kind of people you feel to help due to the extreme poverty and the horror they had to go through.Today was the last of our 3 day- visit of Angkor temples. This is probably the best way to end our south east asian journey on a high... the amount of monuments to visit is amazing...and stunning. We rented a bike and cycled from our guesthouse to some of the sites (about 15-20 kilometers).Tomorrow we are heading to...Australia

Ca fait trois jours que nous sommes a Siem Reap apres un trajet confortable par bus. La ville vit principalement du tourisme et vous vous en apercevez tres vite grace aux hordes de personnes essayant de vous vendre quoique ce soit et qui vous suivent le long de la route. C'est un peu enervant mais supportable, on a vu pire ailleur. Les Cambodgiens sont un peuple que vous avez envie d'aider a cause de la grande pauvreté qui y sevie et des horreurs auxquelles les gens ont du faire face. Aujourd' hui c'etait le dernier de nos 3 jours de visite des temples d'Angkor. C'est le plus beau bouquet final que l'on puisse imaginer pour la fin de notre voyage en Asie du Sud Est...le nombre de monuments a visiter est incroyable et ila sont tous plus magnifiques les uns que les autres. Nous avons louer un velo hier aupres de notre hotel pour visiter certains des sites (a peu pres 15 Kilometres de velo). Demain direction...Australie
