7 more days to go 7 Wonders of the World
To be corrected, it is the finalist of 7 Wonders of the World. *evil smile*
Beside Great Wall of China who won the n7w (new7wonders) representing global heritage throughout history, two other nominated Asian countries are Angkor, Cambodia and Kiyomizu Temple, Japan. I’ve not heard of Kiyomizu Temple but Angkor was no stranger to us, Asians.
7 more days before setting my foot in Siem Reap. This is my first time going on a oversea holiday with my youngest sister and of course without Hubby who have to play babysitter at home *ngek, ngek, ngek* Do I have to mention how excited I am?
Coming back to the n7w, I think Stonehenge, UK and Pyramids of Giza, Eygpt should replace Christ Redemeer, Brazil and Taj Mahal, India.
And Angkor…
“I’m sorry you did not win. Yea, it’s my fault. I was so busy blogging, I forgot to cast a vote for you. I know you lost only one vote behind India. But don’t worry, I am ready to contribute US$40 being the entrance fee to the Wat of which 99% of the earnings go to the officials in the country and maybe 1% of it really goes to the conservation effort to protect the heritage. Well, I’ll keep a hush-hush about that 😉 .”
Ok, I was kidding about the voting part. Ciao…

Great place to take photos.:-)
10 years ago, the USD25 entrance fee included a personal guide that take you around on a motorbike, still do now?
The Queen says: Oh, man! I wished they still have that kinda service nowadays. I bet my feet is going to turn jello from all the walking!Â

Please consider buying the 3-day pass. It’s better cos Angkor complex is just simply too amazing and big to do in one day. Hire a guide and transport with you for 3 days

the custom officer may ask you for US5 or US10 when you pass your passport to them (happened to me when I went there in 1999). all u have to do is ask them what the money is for and they will just stamp ur passport and let u go!

don’t vote Stonehenge. ever wonder how the circle is so circular, the angles towards the sun are so perfect, the surfaces are so level etc etc etc? it’s bcos they are not orijinal anymore. some ex-army guy “re-arranged” the stones between the 1st & 2nd world war. they are recorded in a history book, but i guess it’s not as popular as having naked virgins dancing around with mad bearded druids drinking warm barley beer and worshipping the sun, innit? 😉
go Angkor!

Hi Selena. I was teasing her IM about pillow fighting with her sister just the night before. Kind of an inside joke.
I would be sight seeing instead of pillow fighting too. 😛
