For an early -- and I mean early -- birthday gift to myself, I decided to wake up at 4:30 am and watch the sunrise at one of the greatest wonders in the world: Angkor Wat.
Angkor Wat, in Siem Reap, is an archeological park of Hindu and Buddhist temples from the 11th and 12th century. The site is so expansive that they sell 3-day passes for guests looking to hit every temple.
It is huge.
How do you explain an entire city of religious relics from hundreds of years ago lying in ruin? And ones that you can actually traverse and navigate like those throughout history have done. Is there a way to write about that experience?
In my opinion, the answer is no.
So essentially I am going to post many of the pictures I took along with a YouTube video link; a 40-second panorama inside the enormous Angkor Wat temple.

Hope you all enjoy!
P.S. It might take awhile to load this entry due to all the pictures.
