Angkor by Els Slots

Just got back from an asian vacation that included Angkor. I have always wanted to see it, and it was spectacular!

It was so huge, and the temples so numerous and massive. The impact of the Khmer Rouge was very apparent; the heads of many statues had been chopped off to be sold on the black market by soldiers, the condition of the ruins in general is perilous. The guides let people touch, walk, and climb all over the temples and its grounds which has also contributed to its condition. It is truly a remarkable sight, and anyone interested in ancient culture and heritage should not miss this.

The town of Siem Reap was small, nice and safe. People were kind and friendly, and hotels were decent.
