Angkor Wat
On our first day in Siem Reap, we went to the many temples around Angkor Wat. Mr. Roma is the tour guide and he is from Siem Reap.
We also had a Tuk Tuk (a small taxi made from a motorcycle) driver who took us to different areas.
On the way to Angkor Wat we saw a group of mischievous monkeys. They were eating and playing near the water.
Angkor Wat was built in 1113. It took 30-35years to build Angkor Wat, and it took 4,000 elephants and 1 million people. It was for the Hindu God. (The Temple)
In the picture above, the middle door is for the King. Side door is for the people. And other side door is for the elephants.

There is a statue that has eight arms.
It is a Vishnu God.

There are a lot of these lady around and as you can see they all have different hairstyle.
When you enter the door, there are two libraries. The library in this picture was to be used during the full moon.
The other library was used at other times.
The visitors first went to the library to learn manner.
Next, they took a bath in the pond.
