Letter 16
Angkor Wat Day 1
I woke up early on January 26 to make sure I had put everything I need for the trip into my carry-on bag and luggage. To adapt myself to the hot weather in Cambodia, I carried a tiny fan that can be hold in my one hand.
It was the most useful thing during the trip.
After lunch, my family took the taxi to Taoyuan airport. We met 26 other members of the tour group and our tour leader before boarding. Our leader was a funny woman with lots of energy. It took about three hours to fly from Taoyuan to Siem Reap, but there were no movies on the plane so I felt like the flight took more than just a few hours. Except sleeping, the only thing I could do on the plane was eating my dinner. Knowing that there won't be a feast at night welcoming us to Cambodia, I told myself to eat as much as I could on the plane. When we arrived at Siem Reap, we met our tour guide. He was about fifty years old with dark skin and a sleepy face. He took us to our hotel and told us to wake up at 6 in the second day. Before going to sleep, I started to feel hungry.Fortunately, there were cookies and bananas in the room.
