Bring 'Em On!
Yiiippeee! I've been waiting with barely contained anticipation for Steve's incredible series of travelblogs on Cambodia! I can't wait to see how you convey the beauty and depth and energy that permeates life here. The dialogue about Angkor Wat was excellent! And my favorite pick is the panorama of the crowds waiting for sunset...now there is the REAL Angkor Wat! ;)
