Great video and photos, thanks for sharing! It is amazing as to how intricate the construction of these old temples are, and they are still standing after a 1000 years or more in some cases, with large numbers of people passing through them daily!

Centuries. The Minster in York took nearly 400 years to complete.

Joe and I reluctantly responded to the 4AM alarm with the question, "Hope this is worth it". Our arranged and so far, faithful Tuk Tuk driver was 7 minutes earlier than the agreed time of 5AM. Out in moderate traffic and pitch blackness, we continued to wonder " Wat's the draw"
George, Joe and I found coffee at the drop off point as all westerners needs are filled even in predawn blackness. We'll use that photo for the next coffee thread start.
Flashlights were being sold and bought as there are no overhead lights where we crossed the uneven causeway to the sunrise viewing area.
I was glad I downloaded the flashlight app on my Droid.
Standing at a large pond bank at 5:30AM we geared up for and hour long wait for the sun to appear. I took out the large laser diffuser I bought in Bangkok and started playing around, half expecting someone to tell me to stop. This thing is very powerful and easily lit up things at great distances with the diffuser off the tip. With the diffuser on I was able to light up the entire palm tree we stood under like it was Christmas with a thousand tiny Laser beams scurrying in every direction like confused insects.
This seemed to attract people toward out location and turned out to be another way to break ice with other travelers.
Out came the STOC Tag for these two Chinese teachers on holiday:

Breakfast at No. 24 restaurant after sunrise. Fortunately the little girls hard selling the trinkets were in school today and breakfast was quiet. On arrival at Angkor Wat for the sunrise service, the coffee was so bad we opted for tea.

Joe. Cool pix of Danny
You got most of it. Some really nice looking shrimp in there. Dark meat was probably beef. We didn't eat here, they were just tempting the street walkers with the display. Cambodian food can be a little bland and very basic (IMO), especially if you eat outside of the bigger towns. We had lunch today at a place where it was very basic, like raw cabbage, some kind of small raw eggplant, and some other veggies we couldn't name. They brought out some very red, marinated fish that was very salty that I think nobody wanted but me? One item looked like a hollowed out cucumber filled with meat and served in a bowl of broth. The meat tasted a little like hamburger. It was all very different, except for the rice......
The food in the Philippines was also bland and most of the Americans always carried some hot sauce to put on their food.
