Cambodia Day 2

Basically it’s a trip of exploring most of the temples in Siem Reap (thanks to my dad, honestly first few temples are quite interesting, but after 2 days of exploring and non-stop hiking under the crazily scorching sun, all you want to do is to stay under the shade hoping that it will rain or there will be some cool breeze.  Sides, the things in the temples are very repetitive.)  Oh well, I’ll take it as spending some quality time with the family.

Our first temple (don’t ask me what is this I’m so bad with names), it was a rather small one, which explains the lack of crowd.

Most of the structure of the temples are destroyed due to erosion, but the government is trying their best to preserve and rebuild them.

You can tell some parts of the structures are the new, ‘rebuild’ areas.  I guess the government is putting in effort in conserving the temples?
