… and guess what? I’m having some minor fever, flu and cough. Hope I’ll be able to get well in time. *prays
This will be my first oversea trip in 2 1/2 years. My last oversea trip was to Hong Kong and Macau in November 2007. What happened to my ‘visit at least 1 oversea country a year’ mission? Failed lo. It was due to health and busyness. I’m very sure I will be able to ‘tambah’ balik those 2 lost ‘oversea trips’ soon. Thinking of Bali. Anyone? *blink blink
OK back to Siem Reap…
I’m getting the 3 days pass ticket
Taking my 2 lenses (50mm f/1.8 and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6) but which one should I ‘load’ on my camera as the main lens. Any suggestion?
Am contemplating whether I should bring my tripod and gorillapod. Or maybe I can use my body as tripod? haha Decided to bring tripod. 
Not hiring a guide (since this will be a leisure trip; will be going to Siem Reap again with a more ‘serious’ partner later)
Not visiting Tonle Sap
Will be hiring tuk-tuk except for the last day trip I will hire a car to bring us to Banteay Srei and Angkor Wat. I thought Banteay Srei is too pretty and cannot be missed. Is the road to Banteay Srei dangerous for 2 ladies and a driver?
Already I’m thinking this is sure gonna be an expensive US$$ trip.
Oh and where do you change large US$ notes to smaller notes? Got it at money changer. LOL
Kindly comment if you have any suggestion. I can read your comment until this Saturday. *yeah that soon!
Angkor Wat… here I come!!!

Wow!! Siam Reap!! Photographer’s destination..
I would load the 18-135mm lens as this is going to be pure landscape work. When you’re done with that, load the 50mm to capture some other stuff.
Kekeke.. This is why I’m trying to gun for a nice landscape lens in the future. 10-20mm or 10-24mm would be my target.
Have fun! 恭喜发财！！

Angie Tan, yes a photographer’s heaven! I’m thinking the same as you too 18-135mm as the main one. Too bad I’m without a wide angle. But never mind there is always next time. Kong Hei Fatt Choy to you too

Dawn, hopefully I can enjoy myself there. I still have a little flu and sore throat. Ahh finally I got the smaller US notes from money changer. I thought they only supply large notes. Haha
Tekkaus, it’s in Cambodia. The gateway to Angkor Archaeological Park.

To Siem Reap & Angkor Wat too I will be going in this July! If I were you, I will attach the 18-135mm lens, isn’t it a wide angle lens already?

Seems like Asian fever spreading around us lately! Everybody is visiting ASEAN countries Haha… I haven’t been to Seam Reap but looking at those photos taken by my friend who went there last year was just amazing! Surely a photographer’s heaven on earth.
Hope you’ve got well and are enjoying your trip now! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
