I saw Indonesia

More photos of places I visited in Indonesia.

First:
_AAA0188

Lots of temples and stuff, the carvings and architectures are rather similar to those I saw back then in Cambodia. Most of the stones were taken by people who lost their homes to the great volcanic eruption. What for? They used those stones to rebuild their homes. As a result, many parts of these temples are lost. Reconstructing the temples require a lot of funding, and it's difficult since they don't know exactly how those temples look like, originally.

I don't remember the name of this place. But the sea view is epic! You have to go there at least once and see it for yourself. It's superrr beautiful! One thing I do remember is that there are a lot of monkeys around this place. They are aggressive, and known for robbing things from people. They tend to go after shiny things. Spectacles, earrings, whatever stuff that shines. There is a reason why they grab those stuff. They want food in exchange of your stuff back. If you want your item back, offer food and the amount of food depends on the monkey's mood. You'd think you'll be able to scare them off before they come close enough, but they are fast, and they are everywhere. So I hid my stuff instead of risking it.

They have restaurants by the beach too, just like most... beaches. Yes.

And then:

Golden Retrievers on top of the Volcano, Gunung Batur. Inactive but very much alive. The steam alone is hot enough to cook eggs.

And again:
_AAA0782

Unending lot of temples. Been shooting a lot of temples since Cambodia. Will I ever get a chance to go to Vatican City? Cathedrals are just as awesome.

Finally:
_AAA0868

Wildlife in Bali, Indonesia. LoL~
I love this photo a lot. It's just a cat, but it looks wild here. Meow~

When will I see you again?

From Wat to Wat - Cambodia

_DSC0092

The weather is freaking hot these days. Not a single day spent without feeling sweaty and sticky. I'm trying to cut down the electrical bill, so I don't turn on the air-cond as often. Plus Earth Day and all that, I suppose using less electricity will help. Doing my part as an Earthling. lol~

Aaaaaand, yeah still in Cambodia. Unending it seems. Perhaps something different in the next post to change the mood in my blog a little.

This time around, I'll be posting a few photos of temples. I don't remember exactly which is which though. Maybe I'll bring a diary in my next trip, suppose it'll help me blog better.

Satkuru, Angeline, and LeeMay checking the stuff she bought from the craft center.

The very famous face of Bayon.

Angkor Wat during sunrise.

It felt awesome to be there. The view was spectacular. You think you've seen it in photos and all that, but it's nothing compare to seeing it with your own eyes! I was like, woo... WooOO! Wowww.. Whoa! lol~

_DSC0418
That's Ai Ling. This is actually the area in front of Angkor Wat.

With this and the previous post, I've linked all six bloggers who went on this trip with me.

An Algerian Orange-tailed Skink.

A lizard-type animal. It's very cute as its tail kept moving, kinda like a dog wagging its tail. I suppose it's a type of warning to possible threats or predators. Maybe I'm wrong, but most animals with striking-coloured skin are like that, no? lol~

Craft of Cambodia

Still in Cambodia, and this time, I'm gonna post here photos of sculptures and carvings. We visited a place, I can't recall the name of the place. There are many centers like this over there anyway. I suppose they are all almost the same? Hmmm... Maybe not all, since this place I went, they train the mute and deaf to draw, and other works. You know, the usual.

And now, the photos!

It's fun to actually watch them at work, seeing a piece of wood or stone slowly change into a certain shape, and eventually become these work of art. Awesome! This usually take years to train. So if you like their work, maybe you can show them support by buying their work. Although for that to happen, you have to visit Cambodia. lol~
