Cam bo D ah

After a relaxing stay in Phuket, we made our way to Cambodia, by plane, and bus, and another bus, and then by tuk-tuk finally into the Indiana Jones-y, Tomb Raider-y, Jungle Book dreamland called Siem Reap, which would come in at number one or two on my trip highlights. Bedazzled then at the collection of pictures which will appear in the coming days on my picasa albums for the Temple were a delight.
In preparation for the temples we hired a driver, Johnny, for $15 dollars for the whole day to show us the temples. Our only other preparations were a good night's sleep, and a book which we purchased on the grounds for our benefit so that we might learn about the amazing history we were seeing, walking on, and touching.
The first temple and maybe the most famous was Angkor Wat. And throughout the day I couldn't help but think of Legend of the Hidden Temple, or any adventure movie which takes place in a jungle. This place has inspired so much, its no wonder it was the special grounds for religious affairs. I felt amazed at the lengths they would go for reverence of these false gods. I also felt like a child who wanted to climb every part of it. A strange mix, for sure, but that's the truth.
