It's heartbreaking. <strong>simonsezblog:</strong> I hope you find it useful :) Look out for the rest of the series. <strong>Rudy:</strong> I'd say you totally need a guide, unless you have 2-3 weeks to explore the place, there is just too much information to take in if you don't have someone who can tell you where to walk and where to look..If you don't have a guide you'd just walk around most the time staring at stones and carvings, you wouldn't know any of the stories, history or meanings. <strong>dreamer idiot:</strong> Yah the kids are so beautiful, I can totally see why Jolie adopted one too. They are truly charming. I bought banana fritters for the kids before, I don't mind giving food. The craftmanship is stunning. <strong>Terry:</strong> You gotta go bro. FireAngel: Yah it is very sad to see it though..

No wonder Angelina Jolie decided to adopt her Cambodian son... I agree too that no money should be given (if we give, we only encourage the syndicates), but food perhaps, as someone suggested. Great pictures, by the way. They make us wonder and marvel at the architectuaral craftsmanship during those ancient times.

You don't want to buy from them because you don't want begging to be encouraged. But at the same time, its all a syndicate, if the child does not bring in X amount a day, she may be beaten..... Its all so sad, and its happening in KL too. Regarding the little girl…… its a real dilemma. You don’t want to buy from them because you don’t want begging to be encouraged.

Was thinking of not using a guide during my trip, unless really necessary. USD=Budget constraints!

I'm going to SR in May, flying up from the land of the NYP scandal. Appreciate the nice write up and pictures. Hi 少林老虎
Stumbled here while searching for blog entries in Blogger on Siem Reap (Google only took me so far). I’m going to SR in May, flying up from the land of the NYP scandal.
Appreciate the nice write up and pictures.
