Cambodia - Siem Reap

Photo taken in 2002

This was my second time visiting Siem Reap, Cambodia - Angkor Wat.
這是我第二次到柬埔寨,Siem Reap城的Angkor Wat. 這次是與Steve

Photo taken in 2002

Because of Steve, I was glad and came to see ‘you’ again, nine years later. I like your amazing smile, but aging not only on me, also on you. I wish your smile will last forever; however, I know all these are impermanent...
我很高興再來看您,我喜歡您的微笑。九年後的歲月,不僅令我的生理漸老,您的容顏也漸頹。我希望您的微笑能常存,但是,我知道都是無常呀...

The month of May is the low season for tourism.

五月天,是旅遊淡季。


The hawkers try their best to sell you something; they will lower the price to get your attention...

They will surround you, especially the westerners like Steve.

做生意的使盡所能賣你東西,他們會自行減很低的價錢讓你興趣...


他們會緊圍遊客,尤其像Steve是西方人。


However, it seems they have their boundary, once you pass that, you will be released.

不過,他們似乎有界限,你走過那範圍,你就鬆懈了。

我覺得很不是常態,怎麼那麽多小孩叫賣,他們不上學嗎?


I do not feel comfortable as there are a lot of young kids selling things. Why are they not in school?

A boy speaks fluent English, and he follows us and tries to be our tour guide. When he knew I wanted to take a photo of Steve, he ran and sat there. I was laughing, but he pretended to slide his body away.
一男孩說流利的英語跟着,要做我們的導遊當他知道我要為Steve拍照,他跑去坐着,我覺得好笑,他不好意思假装傾斜開身體。


Later, Steve told me he asked for 1 dollar.
過後,Steve告訴我他要一美元。
