Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat




Angkor Wat is the largest historical temple. Angkor wat is in Siem Reap, Cambodia it covers up to 162.6 hectares. It was built by the Khmer king Sayavarman II in the 12 century. Before entering Angkor Wat you need to buy a ticket, there are three types of a ticket the first one is the 1-day ticket in the one-day ticket you get to go only that day. the second ticket is the 3-day ticket in the three-day ticket you get to go 3 days in the week or it will expire the last ticket is the 7-day ticket in the seven-day ticket you get to go 7 days in the month or it will expire.


There are many means of transport to get to Angkor Wat like cars, tuk-tuks, bikes, cycles, etc, the best of them all is a tuk-tuk because it is really nice, the view but before you can go to Angkor Wat you need to get a ticket from the ticket counter. The best time to go to Angkor Wat is at the time of the sunrise because the sunrise is right above Angkor. Angkor is bordered by a beautiful moat on the moat there are 2 bridges one is white and the other is blackish green which is under reconstruction and is closed the white one is made for the tourists it is a floating bridge.there is a small pond where you can see Angkor reflection. There are three enclosures. On different walls, there are different beautiful carving like Mahabharat.

 Near the main temple, there are lots of statues but none of the statues have heads. The main temple is really tall and kids under 12 years are not allowed. To see the whole Angkor Wat it may take a whole day or two.

River house academy

This year I started homeschooling and as my father is also working remotely we visit and explore many places like Himachal Pradesh, Vietnam, etc. This time we visited south Goa, Canacona and found this amazing school called River House Academy. This school is a different school, not like any other school in the world. They teach using fun interactive methods; Less theory more practical. My first day in school was on August 18th, 2018. Honestly, I was a bit nervous because there were no Indians at all. When I went to school I met Ellie the principal. She is from the UK but is settled in India and is the founder and head teacher of River House Academy and she was very kind, polite and she introduced me to my class teacher Divya. Actually, the school turned out to be pretty good from that day! Then the 1st week went off well being introduced to the other kids and the teachers Ellie, Sam, Greg, Philipp, and others. All the teacher are very creative, talented, kind and helpful. The ...

The world of fortnite gaming

FORTNITE Gaming! The word gaming itself is a big shock to parents they think it will ruin their children's lives. But why are they thinking like this? Everything has two sides - negative and positive and I am going to tell you the positive side of fortnite. The people that play fortnite get to meet other people around the world in modes like duos, squads, and LTMs. This way we can connect with other people. People who play these mode duos, squads, and LTMs, need skills like communication, strategic thinking, and teamwork. If you and your squad is low on health and there is a squad in front of you, how are you going to attack them, should you push them or fire from a distance, this is where communication and strategic thinking comes in place. Now, if you hit someone and you know that they are really low then you tell your teammates to focus on that guy. Teamwork - if you land really far from each other there is less chance of surviving. The game also incre...
