I was lucky to travel through all Cambodia in February 2007.
I spent 2 weeks there, crossing all the country from North to South.
This country has left a deep trace in my heart and I dream about another two weeks there!
My trip to Siem Reap from Aranyaprathet , a white old taxi in clouds of red dust, my fears about what was waiting for me in Siem Reap… I will never forget this!
What impressed me much then - smiling people and white shirts of school children inside of that poverty and dust…
I visited almost all the temples of Angkor Archeological park. Everything there was special!!!
I am Russian, so khmer culture was something absolutely miraculous for me!
Mostly I liked Angkor Thom with plenty of apsaras. Each of them had an enigma oh her face.
Bayon is spectacular! You feel yourself there in another dimension, absolutely out of time!
Temples and Trees of Ta Phrom will impress ANY person!
And, unbelievable, proud Angkor Wat – is something so breath-taking, that does not have analogues in all the world!
I will always keep Cambodia in my heart as a large flower of never-dying lotus with all legends and dreams of the gorgeous khmer civilization.
