Terrace of the Elephants & Terrace of the Leper King

Moving on from Angkor Thom, the picture below shows another place that we have visited. I don't know what this is called , that's the problem going to Angkor Wat without a guide..heheh. The temples are huge, and we dont' really get to know what purpose does each hall has and so forth.

At this spot where the picture above is taken, I met a kind 15 year old Cambodian girl. She was trying to sell me scarfs but I was not interested. Before I reach here, the rubber layer beneath my shoes came out and it makes walking difficult. We were just resting here looking at Dawn and Ben attempting to climb up the temple in front. I was still fiddling with my shoe, wondering what I can do. The little girl looked at me and said find something to tie it up. Then she walked away. I was actually going to untie the strings from my bag to fix it coz i can't find any strings around. Then, she came back with a rubber band. Then, the idea works! I was about to sit contentedly there. Suddenly, she went off and came back with a tiny bottle of strong glue. I was really touched by her kindness, going all the way to help me. The rest of the journey will be hard if the rubber thing keep coming out. I got to know a little about her, she studies English and Art in school. She says she like drawing. That's cool, hope she will be an artist one day :)

After that we moved on to the next place which is the Terrace of the Elephants and the Terrace of the Leper King. It is just next to each other, all in one stretch. Both are part of the walled city of Angkor Thom. Below are some of the shots I have taken. Beautiful carvings :)

As we were walking out of the Leper King, Shazzy had a little injury here, she slipped and fell. Hope her sprained leg has got all better now.

We are off to lunch after that. We are always surrounded by little kids who try to sell us postcards and bracelets for US1. They will go on and on. This little girl is one of them, but she is rather chatty and Dawn we asking a lot of question. Then, she came out with this phrase 'No money, no honey' after much questions..We were all stunt. Hahaha, never expect it to come out from a little girl like her :)
