シェムリアップ(SiemReap)/アンコールワット(Angkor Wat)2017.Jan.16

I couldn't see sunset in Anchor Wat yesterday, I decided to go to see sunrise there.

I booked driver last night. Hotel manager advised me to leave hotel at 4am. So, I waked up at 3:45am, and I rode on the tuktuk in front of the hotel.( The driver slept in the tuktuk.)

During going to Anchor Wat, it was so dark. I arrived at Anchor Wat around 4:30am. Last night was rainy and it was still so dark, I was dropped in puddle when off the tuktuk.( puddle was so dirty, you should be careful.)

I waited in front of the pond in front of Anchor Wat, where is best position. There are few people when I arrived. People were gradually gathering, It was so crowded around 5:30am. If you wanna sit to wait, you should arrive before 5am. Sunrise was around 6:30am. I waited for 2hours, I should have bring kindle or some books.

At last, Sun was appeared around 6:30am, but there are many clouds, I cant see good view, it was just lightened. After sunrise I just a little see Anchor Wat, I backed to the hotel.

 

Backed to the hotel, I ate breakfast, and took asleep for 3hours. I walk around Pub Street and shops over the river. I took massage by the man whose faces was swelled. He provided good massage at cheap price (maybe 3$) though I feared at first.

I googled where to go so as there were so much time. I was aware of Galleria(DFS).

Galleria was next to the national museum. I entered the museum at first. But it was not fun and entry fee was a little expensive (12$). Galleria was not big , but there were famous brands like Bottega Veneta, Burberry. Customers are almost Chinese, Clerks were also almost chinese. I just bought cookie which Japanese woman made in Cambodia.

I ate dinner at Pub Street. I took foot massage. The price was just 1$, but massage was good. The price of massage doesn't depend on the quality.

I bought pants. which was 2$ in the night market. the clerk girl was selling some products, eating cooked bugs...
