Cambodia and Vietnam



We started in Siem Reap, Cambodia, to see the famous Angkor Wat Temples... a massive civilization constructed over 900 years ago that housed a civilization of a million people in its hayday. It was in a strategic location for the trade routes between India and China. These temples are somewhat raw - you really can walk around anywhere, it hasn't yet become so commercialized - which makes the exploration all the more interesting.



It's the dry season during the winter. In the summer, the fields are flooded so the houses are built on stilts.

Precious little boys singing for us...... they had this rehearsed with hand-motions and all (see video below)
