So I've made it, the main destenation of my four month trip across South East Asia. I came here with Projects Abroad to work on an orphange. The orphanage I ended up getting placed at is one for mentally and physically handicapped kids. It's going to be very intense, indeed. I start Tuesday, Monday…

I have always wanted to visit Ankor Wat but was never my priority or was never on top of my list of places I wanna travel before I die … I have watched documentaries about it (and of course Tomb Raider okay fine!) and was kinda intrigued but that’s just it.So everytime I want to travel I always…

We woke up around 5:00 to see the Angkor Wat sunrise. Again we weren’t very lucky with the view. Nonetheless we were able to take some great pictures. We must have taken about 20 photos each of the most memorable view of Angkor Wat. After sunrise we headed for Banteay Srei. We hadn’t planne…

we arrived at phnom penh at around 3pm from our 7hour road trip from ho chi minh to phnom penh. we took the Mai Linh bus for 200,000VND which includes a free bottle of water for the entire bus ride. the 7 hour was quite a relief for me as i just slept thru the entire trip. i remember just waking up…

one of the places on this planet that I had wanted to visit since my childhood was the temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia. I had read about its re-discovery by French archaeologists in the 1950's and seen pictures of ficus trees growing through walls of bas reliefs topped by towers decorated by car…

Royal Palace - Inside Angkor Thom.  Major construction was undertaken at Angkor Thom's Royal Palace under the reigns of Jayavarman VII and his immediate successors. Bas-reliefs depicting aquatic scenes were added, for example, to the lower steps of Srah Srei

      This morning on my way to the LCCT airport (KL), I pulled such a Susan moment, I realised half way that I left my wallet at home. Uncle Anthony could not make a u turn, thus we had to stop at a rest stop and make an emergency to my folks. For some reason, I think my d…

Mein Zimmer hatte kein Fenster, daher habe ich auch keine Ahnung, ob es draußen schon hell war als ich früh morgens mit heftigem Durst aufgewacht bin. Ich habe mir schnell etwas angezogen und mir in der Rezeption eine große Flasche Wasser besorgt. Mein Magen war bisher asiatischem Essen immer gu…

Our flight was to Siem Reap coming from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. My first impression of the airport is that is was small compared to the other airports I have seen. The weather was a lil bit cooler that I expected. We were picked up from the airport by the hotel shuttle. On our way to the …
