Hi everyone, so I am
back on the blog after quite a long time. This time, I will share my first ever
experience as a tourist in a foreign land (Cambodia). It’s been over a year for
me in Singapore, but I came here as a student. All this while, I had some very
nice experiences, but could never find time to write about them. But this one
is special and I must document it. This should also help other prospective
travelers to Angkor Wat, Cambodia.

So, I planned this trip
at very short notice. I had no group at first, but wanted some company as I
lack experience as a lone ranger. I managed to get 3 of my friends on board at
first, but 2 of them could not manage to stick around. Finally, I and Sumedh
(my senior at NTU) went on with the trip. We flew Tiger Airways from Singapore
on 27th October (Sunday) and reached Phnom Penh at 12:30 PM local time. The
flight was short and easy. Since the trip was only 2 days long (we had to
return on Tuesday morning), our main purpose was to visit the great Angkor Wat
temple. To be honest, I had no clue about anything else in Cambodia. This is
not a good practice and I recommend that you know quite a bit about a place
before you pack your bags.
