Cambodia - See It Soon

Cambodia is our favorite place of the trip. The town we stayed in, Siem Reap, is a small town based around the temples of Angkor Wat. These are very famous temples you have probably seen but didn't realize. The temples are amazing. The people of Cambodia are nice and proud people, much more genuine than other places we have been. The town itself is very small, only one main area called Pub Street that has bars and restaurants. Lots of pictures here. Most of our time spent was touring the temples and hanging out on Pub Street at night.

Of note, this place has changed a lot in ten years according to the locals. The west is slowly creeping in and with it the town is becomeing a typical tourist trap. Lots of hotels are moving in and the numbers of visitors will be going up. If you ever what to see this place, sooner is better.
