I used to read about it in every articles I got the chance to scan. Since then, it drew in me a dream to one day set my foot on its ground. And now, here I am in Siem Reap, Cambodia to witness the glamour and intricacy of old world's wonder, the Angkor wat and other temples! From now on, I can tell eveyone "I was there!" like the usual t-shirt printing declares. August 27 to 30 is a four-day long holiday in the Philippines. I expected that early this year so I booked a trip to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam via the Cebupacificair when it offered a promo fare. Saigon is my point of entry and exit as I cross the border to Cambodia. August 26 came and despite the tiring business (work-related) in the Philippines, I flew to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) that evening and arrived in the city around 3 o'clock dawn. I initially thought of taking the bus in crossing the border to Siem Reap, but it will took me 13 hours which trip would put my August 27 to waste. Thus I opted to book a f...

I called them DA-BAR which name sounded perfectly like the trendy rhum patronized by youngsters, The Bar. I opened their day with a not-so-serious lecture --- meaning informal that I oftentimes made them laugh at several punchlines. In totality, I believed they enjoyed the whole 3 hours listening to me and participating in all activities I asked them to do with me.
