Good decision by FIA
Having viewed the video of the crash behind safety car involving Vettel and Mark Webber in Fuji, Japan, I must say that FIA made a good decision not to penalize Lewis Hamilton for something totally beyond his control. Lewis ran wide to avoid getting to close to the safety car and that is not avoidable under such severe condition with very poor visibility. That is definitely good for F1 or else, the fight for the driver title will no longer be fight on F1 track and instead will be by fighting off track with fault finding.

Lewis Hamilton and Formula 1
8 Podium finishes in 8 Formula 1 races, Lewis Hamilton is now leading the F1 driver championship with 64 points. Surely, Lewis Hamilton is become so popular that most F1 news in the papers these days talked about Hamilton. Even the title of Planet-F1.com show below features Lewis Hamilton as part of it page title. That surely help to bring more hits to the site.
The success of Lewis Hamilton definitely put two drivers namely Alonso and Raikkonen who are trying to prove their worth to their new teams in awkward position. Now three of the top four drivers Alonso, Massa and Raikkonen treat Lewis as their main obstacle / contender in their bid the secure driver championship for the 2007 season.
There have been so many good words for Lewis during the last few months. No doubt that Lewis brought many F1 viewers who have stayed away from the once boring F1 races during the last few years.
Come this weekend the F1 teams will race again in Silverstone, UK, the home race for Mc Laren and Lewis and all expect him to win and I hope that he will be able to handle the pressure and Mc Laren will give you a good, fast and reliable car to win this coming race. Oh yes, he will also need some little luck as mentioned by Alonso during the last many weekends 🙂
Apple iPhone
Apply iPhone that launched in USA on June 29, 2007,6pm was reported to have sold up to 700,000 units so far. That is definitely a respectable figure. Most buyer chose the 8GB model that went for USD 599.00. It will be quite a while before it reach Malaysian shore. Nevertheless, even if iPhone is in Malaysian market, whether we will have a chance to use it will depend who Apple will choose in Malaysia as her Telco partner. If Apple choose to work with Maxis, 019 user like me who is not willing to change mobile phone number is not likely to get one.
Tonle Sap Lake, more pictures
A few more pictures on Tonle Sap Lake just resized from my archive. We were told by the tour guide that most that stay here are Vietnamese. It is interesting to see that most house do have a dog or two with them and I doubt that they eat dog here.

Lake Tonle Sap and the floating village
On the 3rd day of our tour in Cambodia, we visited the Tonle Sap Lake, the Great Cambodia Lake that has a large flood plain. During the wet raining season, the river flood the lake and increase its size by ten folds, making it one of the largest lake in South East Asia.
About 6000 people stay at Tonle Sap (according to our tour guide) and mostly Vietnamese. No power supply and all depend on generator and battery to power the basic electrical appliance such TV. Life seem to tough on this flood plain and the lake but I guess they are happy and live a simple life. In the floating village, there are floating basket ball court, church, police station and more. The road leading to the Tonle Sap was bumpy as no proper road was built due to the fact that the whole area will be flooded yearly. Most houses there are simple floating house which are ready to be moved from time to time depending on the water flooding condition.
However, it is sad to see that a small number of people at Tonle Sap teach their young children to beg from tourist. Not a pretty sight but should change in time to come.
Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, The Kingdom of Cambodia
After visiting Angkor Thom in the morning, we headed back to Siem Reap town which is about 10 minutes away for lunch. We refresh ourselves in the hotel before head to Angkor Wat in the afternoon. The Angkor Wat, the world largest temple, is classified currently as one of the seven wonders of the world. As I have visited Grand Canyon twice, the Great Wall of China and the Niagara Fall once, Angkor Wat is the fourth Wonder of the World that I have visited.
By the way, we used mostly US currency for all purposes and occasionally received some local currency as change. Hence there is no need to change to any local currency if you do not wish to as US Dollars is welcome most tourist places in Cambodia.
The Angkor Wat now still have 5 towers standing tall. Seven of the twelve has collapse previously. The entrance fee to Angkor Wat is $20 for foreigner for one day pass and free for local Cambodian.
The Temple is simply magnificent. The delicate stone carving on the wall as well as many stone carving on Apsara simply took our breadth away. We spent about 4 fours in Angkor Wat climbing to the 3rd level and took many pictures with the setting sun.
We left Angkor Wat at seven and head back to the town for dinner.
Some of pictures taken are as below:-
Angkor Thom, Siem Reap, The Kingdom of Cambodia
Spending about 3 hours at Angkor Thom, we had a chance to enjoy the beauty of the structure of Angkor Thom. More pictures taken are as below:-
Visit to Angkor Thom
On the 2nd day in Siem Reap, we visited Angkor Thom, the great capital city of Khmer Empire. Our tour guide has decided to let us visit the Angkor Thom in the morning for a simple reason that he want to reserve the afternoon hour for the visit to Angkor Wat. According to him, Angkor looks more beautiful with the setting sun.
We spend the whole morning at Angkor Thom and took quite a lot of pictures.
Handicraft factory, Siem Reap
Shortly after we touched down at Siem Reap Airport, we head for lunch and soon after, we visited a handicraft factory where you can see skilled worker working on wood and stone carving.
After the visit to the factory, we proceeded to downtown and visited a local market and did some light shopping for handicraft and painting.
Along the street of Siem Reap, there are quite a number of stores and restaurants operate by Chinese. More pictures to come 🙂
