Japanese?

Day 121

I woke up at 5:10am this morning. Why? To see the famous Angkor Wat temple at sunrise. My motorbike driver shows up at 5:30 and we head off to Angkor Wat. It’s dark, obviously, but my heart is pacing and speeding up because of all that I have heard of Angkor Wat. I walk into Angkor Wat and it’s hard to comprehend just what I’m looking at. It is difficult for me to put into words how I felt, but complete admiration is a start. My driver and I proceed to the rest of the temples around Angkor Wat and the pictures will say much more than I ever could.

Just like China, there are vendors and people just trying to sell their goods. And just like in China, they don’t give up and they are all selling the same thing. The good thing about them, is that they all speak some English, and so it’s easy to strike up conversations and be more friendly than it is in China. I make some friends with some of the sellers, and it’s refreshing to talk with someone. That’s the problem with traveling alone, you can’t always find someone to talk to that is interested. The funniest part of talking with the vendors is that they all thought that I was from the same place, Japan.
