Hello from the ruins of Ta Keo, one of the many temples in Siem Reap. People usually go to the bigger and more famous temples like Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, but I went to this one because you are allowed to enter and climb it. At Angkor Wat, you are not even allowed to touch anything because all these temples are made of delicate sandstone and the Cambodians literally use their bare hands to polish the sandstone carvings. So can you imagine, thousands of visitors touching the carvings each day, one day all the carvings will fade away.

I picked up one of those visitors guides and it had heaps of info yet it is not overwhelming. Everything is concise and very well presented. Been learning heaps and according to the guide, this temple is worth the visit.

Hello from Siem Reap, Cambodia! I would have uploaded pictures if I had not forgotten my camera cable. I've been having a ball since I arrived on Sunday morning. It's been an amazing experience, taking in the sights and sounds.

Despite what people say about Asian countries being dirty and all, it's actually very nice here. It's very dusty and it always smells like something is burning, but if you just overlook that and see the beauty this place has to offer, it is actually such a fantastic place to holiday!

I feel like a king here. I've been drinking coconut water and soaking by the pool, living it up. We've been riding in "tuktuk's" and being chauffeured around. Plus, I just got back from a full body massage. It is super affordable here and I am definitely going to go for more. Food here is pretty good too. I've yet to go to the Angkor Wat, but that is definitely in my plans.
