Siem Reap, Cambodia- day 8

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

I spent my second day in Siem Reap temple-ing; exploring the temples of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, and Preah Khan. There are many, many more temples in the area (you can easily dedicate a week to exploring the temples around Siem Reap), but since I only had one day, I focused on visiting the larger and more popular ones. All in all, it was pretty spectacular- but don't take my word for it...you should go see for yourself. Here are some of the things I saw throughout the day:

(I politely declined.)

Can I tell you how delighted I was to catch a photo of a monk smoking a cigarette? This made my entire day:
