2009 Feb 11 - Morning - We had breakfast in hotel, then we headed north of Siem Reap to visit another famous temple - Banteay Srei. This place is famous for its unique and well preserve craving on the whole building. All the craving on the wall are extremely clear even though it has passed through more than 1000 years of natural erosion. Since this is somewhere 30km north of Siem Reap, we had the chance to see the lifesytle of Cambodian people on our way there. Following are some of the photos taken from our van window.
