When I was a kid, my favourite tome from our children's encyclopedia was titled 'journey to the cities of the world'. I am now 28 years old. I quit my job 3 days ago and decided to realise one of my childhood dreams. To see the world.

The 8th wonder of the world

August 3, 2008

Angkor Wat,  Angor Thom, Ta Prohm and Bayon. This place has to be seen to be believed.  We got up at 5am for sunrise at Angkor Wat and ended our day at Bayon around 4pm.

The pictures only tell part of the story. You have to visit this place for the rest. Ancient architecture at its largest scale!
