Angkor Wat in Pictures

​ ជំរាបសួរ ​មានមនុស្ស​ដ៏អស្ចារ្យ Visiting Angkor Wat was a memorable day for two reasons; the temples were stunning and it was so hot I lost around 3 stone in sweat. I'm not even joking, I didn't realise it was possible to sweat so much. I sweat in places I didn't even know were possible. My EARS we sweating it was that hot. Aside from the huge sweat fest, Angkor Wat truly is a remarkably stunning place and is a must visit for anyone travelling through Cambodia. I would love to be able to tell you copious amounts of detailed history surrounding the temples, but sadly I can't. We didn't do a guided tour of the temples, so I actually know very little about their origin (apart from what I googled out of curiosity after I left). So instead of boring you with a half informed blog post, I will let my pictures do the talking. Some of the temples were magical and a true feat of architectural design, I just hope my amateur photography skills do them justice!

Hello Wonderful People! While traveling around South East Asia, it soon became very apparent that there were so many cultural differences to adapt to. Being a Western tourist also didn't help matters, as you definitely stand out from the crowd, making you an easy target for anything from scams to fascination. I have complied another fabby dabby Top 5 list of things that I learnt while in South East Asia; all of which I never really thought about before travelling, but I now look back on with fond memories as they shaped my journey in so many ways.
