Bacpack 1st Day (30/5/2006)

第一天的旅程，我们要更美金做朋友了。在柬埔寨，那儿的人都用美金更旅客交易买卖，只有少数超便宜的东西才用柬埔寨钱交易。吴哥(Angkor Wat，Cambodia) 入门票：一天是美金20元，三天是美金40元。到达Siem Reap时，已经是下午了。 下午去吴哥很不划算，所以我们跟民宿老板娘租了一辆 tuk tuk 车去Tonle Sap湖. 去那儿的路程应该是 40 分钟吧。

半路时，司机告诉我们需要买入门票(去湖游玩也要给钱？马来西亚的湖不需要给钱呢！)下车来到一个简陋的亭子，然后被吓一跳。去一个湖要美金10元 (37块马币) ， 不需要那么贵吧？无奈，那么远来到了，就付钱吧！付钱后要离开时，来了一对西方旅客，这次门票是美金15元。 （被吓两跳）哗！有没有搞错。如果我们跟西方人一起到，那么要被砍多5元咯！怕怕！

到了湖边坐船去浮村（Floating village）. 好奇怪，我们好像VIP, 三人做一艘大船，并不是等满人后才开船. 嘻嘻! Tonle Sap 的风景没什么特别，反而是从民宿去Tonle Sap 湖的那段路程更精彩。 回到民宿已经是傍晚了。回房间，洗个澡，然后医肚子去。 不知不觉走进一间高级餐厅，布置很漂亮，华丽，还好不是很贵（大概每人四美金）。用餐完后，我们到处走走才发现好多更便宜的餐厅。

今天好累好累。。。。zzzzZZZZzzZzZzzz

When you reached Cambodia, you need to make friend with "USD$". Every thing is sold in USD, except those extremely cheap thing can use “Riel” for trading. To enter Angkor Wat, one of the world heritage sides, you need to pay for entrance fee. $20 for 1 day, $40 for 3 days entry.。

When we reached Siem Reap, is already in the afternoon. So, is not worth to visit Angkor Wat because you will need to pay 1 day entrance fee, but not half day entrance fee. :p So, we decided to visit famous Tonle Sap lake. We took about 40 minutes to reach there.。

In the middle of our journey, the Tuk Tuk driver told us that we need to buy entrance ticket. (Erm….ok. We don’t pay to visit any of the lake in Malaysia. :p) When we go to the counter, we are shocked, USD$10 ENTRANCE FEE! Is equivalent to RM37! WOW! So expensive! Anyway, we just paid them. After we paid, two westerners just walked in. “USD$15 per person please”, this is what we heard…….Phew! Luckily we reached separately, if not, we’ll need to pay $5 extra.。

Tonle Sap floating village is nothing special for us. The only special part is on the way from the town to Tonle Sap. What so special? Let’s visit the place yourself :p and you will know.。

We ended our trip in the evening. At night, we just roam around the town. Anyway, it is safe to walk around in the town area until midnight.
