Next month I'll go to visit Cambodia. Tan and Halley, a friend from church, will go with me. Cambodia has been one of the places I have been wanting to go to the most since I came to Thailand. I have only been across the border once for a visa run. Cambodia appeals to me because I want to learn about its tragic history of genocide, remarkable people, and its ancient Khmer culture. And of course, who wouldn't want to take pictures of a giant tree swallowing an ancient face-carving in a remote jungle temple. I've seen some of the Khmer-style temples in Thailand, and they were remarkable already.
We'll fly into Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. We'll stay for one day and night. Then we'll go to Siem Reap, which is the closest city to the famous Angkor Wat temples. Now we need to decide where we'll stay. I've found some good websites like this one: http://www.talesofasia.com/cambodia-siemreap-guide-stay.htm
I'd appreciate any tips about traveling in Cambodia. Happy traveling to all you cyberglobetrotters out there!
“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
