My Chinese New Year Holiday



This Chinese New Year holiday,I went to Cambodia.I stayed there for 5 days.We stayed from 16th of Feb to 20th of Feb.

I stayed at Phnom Penh for 3days and Siem Reap for 2 days.I lived at Royal Empire Hotel for my first two day in Cambodia.I wanted to use the computers in the hotel but when I saw the price showed 2 US dollar for half an hour,I straight away go back to my room. The food there is very delicious.Most of the food in Cambodia are very sweet and sour.


I went to Angkor Wat, and see those temple that had been there for almost thousand year.Many god statues in the temple are without their head,because when Cambodia having war,many people went to those temple and cut the head of the god and sold to other countries that is interesting on those god statues.In their religion,snake is the same thing as dragon.I saw many interesting things there, people at Cambodia eat spiders and cockroaches,but I didn't try it.

I didn't buy anything from Cambodia ,because everything is very expensive and we need to use US dollar.I also went to the Bar Street,there is a lots of people there,bear that sold at the Bar Street is very cheap, we can buy a cup of craft beer with only 0.5 US dollar.


I knew many interesting person that go to Cambodia with us.There is one uncle likes to buy maps,he said he likes to buy maps whenever he travels to other countries.He said he keep those maps that he bought so that every time when he looks at those maps he can recall the memories for the places that he had travel.


Our guide is a very nice person.His name is Yea Jian Zhong. He can speak very good Chinese. He brought us to the famous places in Cambodia and told us the stories about those famous places.
