ANGKOR WAT

In all fairness to the work that feeds me and finances every single roll of this out-of-the-ordinary hobby, it is not the one to blame for the lack of posts here in my blog for the past week. Workload has been fairly light actually, it was just that I had something that needed focus, a new endeavor that I am trying to figure out for myself. Adding to this self-made pressure is the paralysis I face every time I try to sit myself down to write something about my recent travel experience.

And why would I not feel such? Cambodia speaks to the heart that even I could not transcribe.

Arrived to Siem Reap close to midnight, I was quickly embraced by the cold wind the moment I got off the plane. The transport from the airport to the hotel by a tuk-tuk was memorable. There is nothing like that first few minutes of breathing air from a place you have never been before. After settling to the hotel and a few hours of sleep, a new and exciting day awaited to be discovered!

First order of business: Sunrise at the Angkor Wat. And more.

I drank every moment and detail of everything in sight. The walls, bars, steps, carvings, I touched and held them in my hands every chance I had, in fear of losing the reality that I am enveloped by all this wonder.
