Been there, done that...

As the sarcastic comment says "I've been there, done that...", this time I really mean that literally and NOT the sarcastic way. I just want to share my travels with you :)

Continueing from the 'hotel of the week' blog I have some snapshots of the 3 main sites in Siem Reap: Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm.

I visited Cambodia in September 2008 and was blown away of its mystical feeling. There's definitely something 'in the air' around Siem Reap, loved every minute of it!

Even it is one of the very poor countries in Asia I would still go back and see the humble smiles of everybody and see more of the beautiful and historical country. I think seeing these people living in poor conditions and still be happy the way or another made the bonding much stronger.

I have hundreds of photos but I'll try to put the most meaningful photos in here, enjoy!

ANGKOR WAT

The ancient Temple with beautiful handcrafted walls

All the small details of each bit of the wall, amazing!

Apparently by looking the ladies tummy you could tell from which century these crafts were from; chubby=wealth vs. skinny=poor

ANGKOR THOM

One of the entrances to Angkor Thom

These huge faces were watching us from every direction...

Buddha statues everywhere, surrounded by the nice smell of incense, mmmm...

I was hunting for this kind of photo, and I GOT IT! :)

TA PROHM

Probably the most popular photo of Ta Prohm...seen in Tomb Raider

So green and quiet.

Most of the temple (built in 1186 A.D.) looked like this with fallen rocks

Interesting enough, they knew something about dinosauruses back in 1186 A.D. This is a prove for it.

There would be so many other photos I would love to share with you, but this blog took so much time that I think it's enough for now...you'll get chance to see more later on, I promise. :)
