Trying my Luck but unfortunately Not

I was trying to upload a blog on this Website but unfortunately, I can't submit it. It's my first time to participate on such thing, maybe I can start fulfilling that dream of travel blogging, finally I'm making my move, but not my luck... why isn't it working for me? It's all done, but SUBMIT botton isn't working.

So because I can't post there... I 'm posting here my entry:

Last June 2013, my  friend and I went to Siem Reap because I needed to escape from my stressful work. I decided to see other things aside from my messy table and my computer. It was only a 2 day trip but one of those worth remembering.

Our day one started at 5am hoping to catch the Sunrise in the famous Ankor Wat. We brought with us our Hotel’s free breakfast and acted as if we are having a dry picnic early in the morning waiting for the sun rise to come (but it didn’t, it actually rained). It was a gloomy day but the Angkor Wat  never failed to take my breath away..

Then we went to the other temples such as.

Angkor Thom

Chau Say Thevoda and Thommmanom

The famous Ta Phrom, where Angelina Jolie’s Tomb Raider was taken.

Bantay Srei

Pre Rup

Bantay Kdei

Around 3pm when we returned to our accommodation, Motherhome Home Inn. It was raining again that time, but just like little girls, my friend and I  jumped into the swimming pool like we own it, ofcourse, because it was raining, no one’s around.

At night, we didn’t let it pass not visiting the famous Pub street and had our delicious dinner there.

The next day, we left the hotel at 7am and headed to Rolous Group (Lolei, PreahKoh and Bakong. On our way, boarded the same Tuktuk, earphones on us while playing music and sang with it like we didn’t care.. The feeling was good, it won’t be so much of noise destruction I guess since our voices are being blown away on the open air. These three temples are among the oldest as narrated by our guide.

We continued on our journey by dropping by into the following places.

East Mebon

Ta Som

Neak Pean

Preah Khan.

Our last destination that day was Siem Reap’s Pagoda and National Park.

And just like blink of an eye, our trip was over. This experience may be quick, but it made me feel amazing. Being on a place where no one knows you, seeing completely different place, meeting new people with diverse culture, hearing unfamiliar languages, learning their way of living and witnessing things that you never expected you would, it makes you feel alive.. yes, it made me feel alive and proud.

So no matter how not gusty I am, no matter how riding the Plane terrifies me, no matter how unprepared I am financially, no matter how afraid I am crossing the streets, no matter how suicidal  for me to file Leaves,  no matter how Introvert I am, no matter how hard traveling for me. I’ll still go. I’ll go because it makes me find purpose and beauty behind my dull world.

Thank you Cambodia!
