Step aside, Great Wall. Get out of here, Yangshuo. Move down the list, Ha Long Bay. You've been demoted, Summer Palace. We have a sight that beats them all, a sight that is really too fantastic to put into words. It trumps all else we've seen in Asia, and honestly, it trumps most ancient sights I've seen anywhere else in the world. The fantastic thing is, this sight was buried in the jungle ...

Wow, what an amazing place! I’m so glad the two of you took this opportunity! Reading your blog and seeing Jeremy’s “transformation” I finely realized who he’s starting to look like; Shaggy from Scooby Doo!

So amazing
This is so amazing. The detail, the legend and not to mention how beautiful it is there. And you are correct; for a second you forget your not in Florida. Thanks for the great blog and pictures. Be safe and take care.

Hi Deb
Hi Deb, Hungry is the mascot from our "Weight Watchers" diet program in the states. They feature him in really cute commercials and advertisements. I just think he's adorable and we got him to be our comic relief for our blog.

You forgot stunning
You forgot "stunning" in the title. I am amazed, aghast, astounded. I have put Cambodia on the top of my list, and it had never even been on my list. Wow!
