It's been over 2 weeks since I returned from Siem Reap on a sketchpacking trip with my Urban Sketcher friends, and it was a whirlwind of an experience! We practically hit the ground running, and it was all "go, go, go" during our short 6-day stay. That is, until I came down with fever and diarrhoea. But that's another story.
I will scan and post my sketches over the coming long weekend (it's the Lunar New Year!), but here are some photos I took of my sketches. I must really thank Parka for lending me his camera, because mine died on the morning of the second day into the trip and refused to be revived.

| Lunch place at Chong Kneas Floating Village area |

Bayon Temple. This was the 2nd sketch I did from the outside
because I wasn't satisfied with the first watercolour one (below). |
 |
| Faces of Bayon |
 |
| Ta Prohm. Made famous by the Tomb Raider movie. |
 |
David and Dalis, a brother-sister pair I met at Ta Prohm.
Dalis later helped me pick colours for my sketch. She started
by pointing to my Opera (neon pink) pan. I used the colours she picked
for the clothing of the people in the sketch. The result is below. |

Phimeanakas in Angkor Thom.
Legend had it that the king had to ascend every night for a
tryst with a serpent spirit in the form of a woman. |
 |
One of the 12 towers of Prasat Suor Prat.
Said to be used to settle disputes by divine judgement. |
 |
| One of our only show-and-tells of our trip! |

| One of the inner "libraries" inside Angkor Wat |
And finally, the moment you have been waiting for - Parka's video of our sketch trip! Just to note, the shots are not in chronological order. Enjoy!
