After seeing the phenomenal and glorious Angkor Wat, which Cambodia is probably most famous for, I thought that we have seen it all. That was the granddaddy of temples, the most impressive structure in all of Siem Reap. Surely, we thought, the next temples we were going to see after Angkor Wat would look like an …
A popular quote by St. Augustine goes, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” I could say the same thing about Angkor Wat, which is undoubtedly the most renowned temple in all of Cambodia. It is so outstanding, in fact, that it has become a national symbol …
Perhaps one of the most popular temples in Cambodia is Ta Prohm, or what is more well-known as “the Tomb Raider temple” because it was the setting of the video game-based film Tomb Raider featuring the character Lara Croft, portrayed by Angelina Jolie. As my friends and I gazed fixedly at the towering trees inside the temple …
After my girlfriends and I got spellbound by the enthralling Banteay Srei, which was the second temple we visited in Siem Reap, I thought that that temple would be a tough act to follow.

It is widely known that the number 13 is considered an unlucky number in some countries. I’m not entirely superstitious but last year, when we were counting down to 2013 as we blew our party horns, and shook our wallets and purses as the clock struck 12:00, I thought to myself, “I wonder if the …

After dining at Rustic Mornings, Mike and I strolled around the area and explored a little. In the middle of a grassy area, next to a white fountain, was a humongous (and very random) high-heeled stiletto pump shoe made of leaves and steel. What did I do? Why, what else do you do when you …
