Cambodia

When I arrived at Siem Reap International airport, it all hit home. I''m in Cambodia, alone.

But I don't think I ever want to leave this country, even though I've only been here for less than forty eight hours.

I went to Angkor Wat today and it left me speechless. I've never been that into historical ruins but this place makes you feel like you're touching history, something thousands of years in the past. It is a huge expanse of temples, which were originally all Hindu, then became Buddhist as well as the centuries went on. There are tall, stone temples that descend into the sky. Steps so steep their almost vertical. Intricate carvings of battles fought and women dancing.

One of the most beautiful places on earth.
