Cambodia

So, we are in Cambodia now. Siem Reap to be exact. The border crossing was a little harrowing, but with the help of a friendly local and a hardass American we got to town and settled in nicely. Siem Reap is about an hour and a half walk from Angkor Wat. We've been exploring the temples and Siem Reap and we are loving Cambodia so far.

Before we get into anything interesting, look what I can do! I got it even higher after we realized you can Jenga some of the cards out and keep building up.


On my birthday we drank out of coconuts. This photo is for Blake.

 Angkor Wat.

 Very old graffiti.

A bas relief of the gods and demons using Naga as a rope to churn the ocean of milk. You know.

Hell. All the way around Angkor Wat there are corridors with these bas reliefs depicting both Cambodian history and religious stories.

I made a buddy at the barber's shop.

Simon lookin' good for only $3.

The stairs of our guesthouse.

Chicken Khmer amok. Hands down the best part of my life so far.

Resting outside of Angkor Thom. Here are some demons using Naga as a rope again.

The temple of Bayon. With faces everywhere. I see one now!

We can be serene too.





We've hardly even seen half of the temples. We've decided that it is the most amazing place we've been so far. I'd say it's probably the most amazing place I've ever been in my life. Photos and words can't describe. Just come see it already.

We love Cambodia. One month here is not going to be long enough.
