we went to tonle sap where the people actually lived on water. yes. tonle sap's supposed to be the biggest lake in SE asia. so if you looked around you, you wouldnt see anything but water...it was like i was in the sea or something. so yea, they lived on water. they called it the "floating village". there were floating churches, floating shops, houses and stuff. *fyi, the girl in the pic had to be paid to pose like that. she was begging for money. but at least this young entrepeneur knows how to make people feel good while begging(note the HUGE smile...)

this was the night market..nothing else interested me enough to take photos. i bought some stuff for daniel, jeremy,hugo and eugene here. i got badges of a christmas elf flipping of the finger, two turtles humping each other till one of them blew out of it's shell, a cool black middle finger, and one that said "die, you nazi scum".

"yes! yes! now the whole world will know that i died being able to visit "ANGKOR WAT". yep, it was sweet. it's one of the 7 man-made wonders of the world. the "photographer's heaven". yep, it was one hell of a place. and the pic on the right shows a really really steep flight of steps into a temple. the steps were probably 13-15cm thick. and i'm proud to say that yes! i climbed the damn thing! piece of scary shit!

the pic to the total right is in the ruins where angelina jolie filmed Tomb Raider. there were trees growing on the buildings and trees growing on trees and tress growing on the ground. my gosh, there were trees everywhere! so, yea. you get the picture. there were a few trees. oh yea and i love the pic of the boy. he was playing with a really cool-looking caterpillar and he was trying kill it or something. i dunno. i just like the shape of his face. oh yea, angelina jolie adopted maddox from around here fyi.

oh yea, after you watch this video, you'll be wondering how the hell Japs can be so advanced and developed.

well, no. actually my dad and i were making a meal out of this. cos if you were in that structure and you beat your chest you'd here a resounding sound of the "thud". pretty cool if you havent been to china where you can talk into a wall and be heard a few kilometres away.
