Hello all,
I’m back from my 5 day trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia.
It’s an amazing place. Lots of sights, sounds and photo opportunities.
It was definately an eye opener for me. I made many new friends too. It was kinda sad seeing the people on the streets and in the villages living in such poverty.
I will definately go back again..but before that I will brush up on my photography skills. I saw many beautiful things and many nice moments but my photos do not do justice to what I saw. :p
Above is a pic of a couple of kids I met while walking in a kampong village. That place touched me the most. All the houses were on stilts because they are actually living on a lake but it’s dry at this time of the year. I really don’t know how to put it in words but the simplest of things make them happy and we take these things for granted. I was saddened by the poverty but it’s so heartwarming when you know you’ve put a smile on their faces. I bought a can of coke and decided to share half the can with a couple of them, 1 of the kid took it and shared it with his other friends. Just 1 sip each and they were smiling away.
Learn to appreciate the little things in life. :)
More photos soon.
