the temples of angkor wat





hello from siem reap cambodia! the temples of angkor wat are as cool as people say. i met up with my MBA buddies matt and seth to explore angkor wat. we rented a tuk tuk (basically motorized rickshaw) with driver to take us from temple to temple. each temple has an interesting story - most temples built in the 12th century, initially with a hindu and later a buddist influence. we managed to catch the temple at sunrise and then later at sunset - but i must say that the sunset scenery left something to be desired.

Sunrise is definitely where it's at. Roopa and I spent three days there on our southeast asian adventure, and it was fantastic. Not sure if you've left already, but if you have time definitely try to get out to Banteay Srei. It's far from town, but it was our favorite temple.

Oh, and I forgot to say: your sunrise picture is amazing! The colors we saw were totally different, but the blue is just breathtaking.
