Cambodia by Noa

We arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia and met our guide at the hotel and had lemon grass tea which tasted like a lemon lollipop in a drink.  The Tara Angkor hotel had a pool that we swam in every day and the chance of rain everyday was 60 percent.  We even went swimming in 4 thunder storms, but my favorite part was going to the Night Market.  They had EVERYTHING! I got a new green hammock for only a dollar, and a digital sport watch and cool sunglasses for just 2 dollars each, and surprisingly... the watch still works! We went to a lot temples around the famous Angkor Wat (the one from the "Temple of Doom" movie), but my favorite was the Bayon temple, because it had 24 giant faces carved into the rock wall, and if you sat in the window it would look like you're kissing the face.  By the end, we had gone to so many temples, we got, as I say, "templed out". Our guide even let us feed huge Cambodian elephants some bananas.  My dad finally got to see a monkey too, which made him happy, but my mom freaked out when one little baboon started climbing on her leg.  It was funny. Overall Cambodia was great. One more place to check off on our list, but you should definitely add it to your list!
