Siem Reap 2010

My trip to Siem Reap was a resounding success! Although I've read that Angkor Wat is considered to be greater than the pyramids I wasn't expecting much because I've been to the pyramids and I couldn't imagine Angkor Wat being more spectacular. I was glad to be proven wrong.

Our guide was a really good story teller. His stories combined with the architectural wonders of the temples, it was like the history books from secondary school, the Mahabratha and the Ramayana came to life...

Since a picture says a thousand words, here's some...
