			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My last trip has been to to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia">Cambodia</a>, probably the poorest country of all of the ones I have been to. They had told me how beatuful is Angkor Wat, and I was looking forward to going there for a long time, so I took some days off at work and headed to Phnom Penh. Once there, Carlos, Sara, and Camino were waiting for me and we all went toghether to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siem_Reap">Siem Reap</a>, the closest town to <a href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Angkor_Wat">Angkor temples</a>.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2083 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2817601242/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2817601242_9ec7318ccb.jpg" alt="DSC_2083" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
The first night we went to watch a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khmer_classical_dance">traditional Khmer dance</a> show.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2110 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2816754777/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3150/2816754777_33ac8a851b.jpg" alt="DSC_2110" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
Already at Angkor Temples, I took this picture of a monkey that almost ate me&#8230; pretty scary <img src='http://seoul.manuelhc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2211 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2817617536/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/2817617536_d831a5f384.jpg" alt="DSC_2211" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
There it is, finally, Angkor Wat. It&#8217;s quite impressive to see how well preserved is this temple, specially considering it is almost 1,000 years old.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2226 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2816819029/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2816819029_bce2a6501b.jpg" alt="DSC_2226" width="332" height="500" /></a><br />
Beggar children were everywhere. In my view, giving them money they only thing you promote is that their parents keep using them, but it&#8217;s very difficult to resist to them, and this little girl could conquer Carlos&#8217; little weak heart.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2377 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2816783743/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3054/2816783743_39e98d00dd.jpg" alt="DSC_2377" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
All together, from left to right, Camino, myself, Carlos, and Sara.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2407 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2816787051/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3197/2816787051_aea5c7e750.jpg" alt="DSC_2407" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
A Cambodian girl taking care of her brother and sister while her parents work at the rice field (according to our guide, a family of Cambodian farmers earns on average around 2 dollars per day working at the rice fields).</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2455 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2817675450/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3042/2817675450_2e83cb47b1.jpg" alt="DSC_2455" width="332" height="500" /></a><br />
At Ta Prohm Temple, very impressive for its trees growing out of the riuns, and famous because they shoot some scenes of the movie <a href="http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=nYVDzlGeiPw">Tomb Raider</a> here (among the tourists it&#8217;s known as &#8220;Tomb Raider&#8217;s Temple&#8221;).</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2674 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2817659624/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3283/2817659624_b56f2a5449.jpg" alt="DSC_2674" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
Already back in Phnom Pehn, the Royal Palace.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="IMG_3431 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2816400169/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3013/2816400169_eba6504a7a.jpg" alt="IMG_3431" width="500" height="375" /></a><br />
Selling meat (at 30 degrees in the shade) at the Russian Market.</p>
<p align="center"><a title="DSC_2744 by cholonam, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/2817590748/"><img class="wp-smiley" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2817590748_5b035a0265.jpg" alt="DSC_2744" width="500" height="332" /></a><br />
In Phnom Penh, it was surprising to see so many people playing badminton, it seems they love it. There was quite a lot of people in the parks. Nevertheless, as soon as you move one block from the park, you go back to poverty, beggars, and misery.</p>
<p>&#8230;And as I don&#8217;t have much more time (I&#8217;m leaving for Busan in a few hours), if you want to see all the pictures, here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cholonam/sets/72157607055021711/">my flickr</a>.</p>
