| | Cambodia!So! I am back from the land of temples...every other thing is dedicated to Vishnu, Shiva and whoever and whatever. After a while, after visiting many a temple, it all kinda just blends in and there was a total overdose of information. Yeesh.
I'd much rather talk about the weather...:) and the people.
The weather was insanely hot actually, well probably not all that hot, just that I'm a pampered type of person and totally not built for that kind of weather. It's no wonder the people there are a nice tanned brown. I don't know how they can handle the bit without the sunnies though because the glare from the sun and reflection off the water and metal is just insane.
At any rate, the visit there really (again) does put things into perspective. I mean, you really do know how lucky you are when you see people without limbs walking all over the place, children being used as leverage to beg as well as for labour. I'm sure they're all part of the same family who hand makes stuff but still. All in all a good trip to put things into perspective fo rme and maybe drive myself to work harder even though I'm in much better living conditions than these people. But it's rather amazing cause the youth there are..what you could also say totally carefree because no way in hell would you see a KL city parent allow their child to jump off a pretty high bridge into the river/lake/pond/moat below. Not to mention that pool of water is SO NOT clean. haha.
At any rate, I've posted some pictures online on Facebook. I'd actually like to post a couple here to narrate what actually went on in Cambodia but it's kinda difficult cause the sheer size of the pictures makes it a helluva difficult unless xanga came up with some auto reduction or else unlimited uploads for pictures. Would make my life easier. I'll try to target the picture upload here over the weekend or something. Right now it's just about time to get to bed. Sigh.
