silence redefined November 2014 this travel vlog begins as so many travel vlogs do at the airport next thing I know I found myself with an airplane sorry they got passed out for a while but I know one thing - we'll be proud this is the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila in the Philippines however this is not our final destination oh no more traveling still to be had but a glorious sunset over Manila this is airport number three on our travels we're now in koala Lumpur that's right Malaysia but why are we here well we have a 12 hour layover pretty much we're just gonna stay in a hotel for one night but still now I can say I've been to Kuala Lumpur amazing we're in Cambodia now this is the part of this points in our journey it's probably the farthest around the world that I have ever been so that's we're gonna be going and seeing Angkor Wat which if you guys aren't familiar with it's a world heritage site and that is the purpose of our journey here although I have one other purpose in mind if you guys aren't aware I'm a big fan of the film predator and Jesse the body Ventura is character in that movie has a very one of the he says lots of fantastic things for that movie but one of them is this makes Cambodia looks like look like Kansas and I always like to say that line and now when I say it I'm gonna be able to say it with a lot more confidence I will actually be able to say yes this does make Cambodia look like Kansas so I'm gonna be keeping my eye out for reasons to say that in the meantime this is this is the airport at Siem Reap and I'm probably pronouncing that terribly but here's a look we have arrived at our hotel this is the bourree Angkor seems very nice so far they're just getting a room set up we've been greeted with this green tea and it's not tea what is it it is okay it's made from some type of vegetable that is green it's it's liquid and you can drink it and then here is this is some sweet rice with I'm not sure what's inside but it's in a banana leaf and it's delicious here's our room at the hotel look at this woodwork is amazing it's everywhere okay got the TV mirrors good stuff we have a fancy control panel over here for controlling all the things and then this is our view straight out here onto the pool very very nice hotel this is extremely highly rated on TripAdvisor my wife found it it's fantastic and I recommend everyone comes and visits Cambodia and stays here have you ever tried to get a nice panning shot of angkor wat while the Sun rises the two-year-old cellphone I have yeah this guy lost his face we're now approaching the gates to Angkor Thom and our guide null has just told us that Angkor Thom means big city and actually at the time when the city was at the height of its prosperity they were like a million people here when at the same time in like England there is only a few hundred thousand people pretty impressive and the cool thing about Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom and everything is that it's very mysterious no one really knows what caused the decline of this civilization here and in their spaces there's also faces up there too but you should be aware of yeah they just drive cars through motorcycles bicycles or you can walk a little bit of rain right now we're exploring what is known as happy temple because there's a bunch of faces up on these towers up here and they're all happy happy faces I like this temple now as I show you guys a little bit of Angkor Wat this is probably a good time for me to explain to you I guess I should say apologize to you because um really this video should look a lot better I actually purchased a camera to take on this trip which I left I left at home I didn't leave it home I left my parents house when we were stopping by there but so my apologies that these this is being still being filmed on the smartphone camera from the lg optimus G which is getting to be quite out of date now but um it's it's all ahead so it was this or nothing so many of these temples were built between the 12th and 13th 14th century there's a lot of restoration and stuff that was done in the 16th century and there's lots of these cool carvings everywhere the things you see most are snakes like these right here should be Naga snakes which are like mythical snakes and they always have an odd number of heads like this guy's got seven heads and they're there to protect the temples and whatnot it's a mixture of Hindu and Hinduism and Buddhism and some back and forth going on there as well and then apart from the snakes you also have the kind of mythical Lions to show up two times and also of course elephants there's elephants everywhere it seems like they do pretty constant maintenance on these temples that are all over the place including this one they're cutting all the greenery off and there's a dude sitting up on top you must have a very nice view up there well he's not getting much done so the temple visiting now is actually where they did some shooting of the Tomb Raider movie which is kind of cool although it also means it's insanely crowded there's lots of people here but adding to the mystery of this place is the question why is there a Stegosaurus carved into this well it's good Scottish what's our monitor the rain is pulling straight down slightly to the side lake around here there's so much stuff that has been restored over the years there's a lot of stuff that's still original this sandstone is actually all original and the reason it's still in such great shape even though it's a thousand plus years old or maybe less than a thousand but almost thousand is that this whole thing was actually covered by a massive termite mound and it preserved protected it and then they cleared it away later on and everything is all nice and nice and fresh sweet termites saving antiquities since the 12th century all right never die get some dinner and we're taking one of Sam graves primary modes of transportation at least if you're a tourist it's called a tip tip just get a little scooter up redress to see her in the back just like that one right there which you guys probably can't see cuz it's really dark right now that's it's a little bit terrifying due to the traffic but very very reasonably priced means of transportation they sure to make the night market easy to find here to top off ones night at the night markets you should get this it's called a magic stick and it's full of ice cream and apparently deliciousness and just like that we're back at the airport boarding airplane we've seen some antiquities we've had a wonderful time in Cambodia this ship is still far from over that's right we're going back to the Philippines ladies and gentlemen we are an honor panel approach and we'll be landing in a few minutes please check that your seatbelts are securely fastened our eco vivo Airport sunset in the Philippines this is antique a province we're in the seaside town of London and today is Friday which means that the wet market is open that's where we're headed to right now to buy some delicious food so here's a visit to visit taste of the time dynamic market yeah
