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.
