The day the earth stood still, Bangkok, Thailand



This was the weather on the day we were flying out of Bangkok for Kuala Lumpur.  The low, black clouds were literally creeping over the city.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia










It is a surreal experience walking inside these massive (not an exaggeration) Hindu temples.  For someone who aced his high school ancient history class, I was still left speechless at the sight of these structures.  Of course, we didn't really deal with Cambodian history in depth, but if that was what I felt with the temples of Angkor, imagine what would happen if I had the chance to visit the Mayan temples in the Yucatan or Machu Pichu of the Incas.
