Siem Reap

---

• Siem Reap is a big tourist city due to ancient ruins. They say 400 hotels built by foreign companies. We rode ox carts and visited lady who makes baskets for Korens. She makes $10. On a basket that takes her 3 days to make. We visited Benteay Srie an ancient temple built in 967 ad. the carvings in the sand stone are marvelous. Breath taking to something so intricate, so old.



Today we go to Angkor Wat a Unisco site. Built in 1113 to 1150 Hindu temple . It is surrounded by a Moat 550 wide. It is located just outside of Siem Reap.
