In Cambodia

Asia » Cambodia » North » Siem Reap
July 21st 2008 by Syd Lou

This is rushed, since I'm running out of adrenaline from a 19-hour day. We got up early to watch the sun rise from Angkor Wat. Only one day there, which is hardly enough time, so we had to cram it all in. With a group of 15, I'm the only American so I need to get used to being the butt of jokes for the next 4 weeks!

Angkor Wat is incredible and words can not do it justice, scribbled, thought out, or otherwise. Took tons of photos, the most impressive thing is how nature is completely ripping the place apart as trees uproot and topple over walls. Also, there have been centuries of looters, now the place is protected mostly by the local villagers. Not to mention the standard corrupt and unstable government. Democratic elections are being held the day we leave, I will be learning more about that tomorrow and will try to update. Time and email will be precious commodities till I get back, so please excuse the unpolished notes, loyal readers!

More soon.
