Before you go there, you might have some special feeling on that.<br/><br/>When the aeroplane landed on the airport, the shadow of it reminded me how large the world is, and why we could not stop but to explore the world. <br/><br/>I drove a car to Siem Reap, and visited Angkor Wat. I climbed up the scariest temple stairs in Angkor Wat and saw the sunset on the top of the temple. The sunset was amazing and I felt I was blessed. <br/><br/>On the second day, I took a car ride to see the sunrise from Angkor Wat. However, the weather was bad and I could see nothing. I felt that I was just a small potato who could not control everything. The nature is indeed powerful. <br/> <br/>For the following few days, I chose to visit Angkor Wat on foot instead of taking a car ride. I encountered a lot of funny and scary experience. <br/><br/>The first time I felt I was not dare to finish the last drop of water in my water bottle because I didn't know whether I could find a shop for the new one. <br/><br/>The first time I talked with some students in Cambodia, and saw that they went to school by bicycles. <br/><br/>The first time I stepped on the roads in Cambodia with the fear of landmines. <br/><br/>The first time I met several innocent and simple-hearted children who run around the temples for selling the postcards to visitors. They were clever and could speak several languages with their lovely smiles. I found that my heart was melted.<br/><br/>The first time I saw that almost all elderly in Cambodia could speak good French. <br/><br/>The first time I saw the locals cooking spiders for their food. <br/><br/>The first time I used several million dollars to buy just one coke. <br/><br/>The first time I tried some mysterious fruits which I bought in a stall, but I still have no ideas of what fruits they were. <br/><br/>There were so many “first times”, but I felt that I gained a lot from this trip, because I had retrospection and found how lucky I am. https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/story/131960/Cambodia/First-Time-in-Cambodia Travel Cambodia happylife https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/story/131960/Cambodia/First-Time-in-Cambodia#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/story/131960/Cambodia/First-Time-in-Cambodia Wed, 27 May 2015 01:37:13 GMT 0 I am a person who likes to go travelling and captures every moment during my travel. I think the second I just had will be different from the second I am having now. Everything is changing, so I want to capture the priceless moment and share it with everyone surrounding me. Photography to me is a way to express both my view and the reality. I think it can show everyone the truth of the society. In recent years, the global warming effect is becoming serious. The arctic ice melts every day. I want to capture the beautiful scenes in Greenland and Destination Arctic Circle in order to arouse the public awareness on environmental protection. https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/photos/42215/Cambodia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Travel Cambodia happylife https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/photos/42215/Cambodia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/happylife/photos/42215/Cambodia/My-Scholarship-entry-A-place-I-have-visited Sun, 30 Jun 2013 18:47:00 GMT 0
