WAITING TO RISE


Time seems to be longer, in deed, when you are waiting. It's quite interesting to wait with a hundred more people standing in front of the moat that surrounds Angkor Wat only to see a single great ball of fire to rise. The moment knew no race. Everyone held up their breaths as the sun started to peek, teasing us with its hiding. After a little play of colors in the sky, the sun finally greeted us with just the right amount of warmth to complement with the cold breeze of the morning. And then, it was time to do the rounds. I breathed in, hoping never to breath out the air that filled my lungs paired with tranquility and joy. I secretly hoped it would never end.

    1. Thank you Katie! Means a lot to me :) I am enjoying posting them as well while trying to re-live the whole experience. As I have said, I'm still having paralysis on where to begin. But definitely, there's more to come :)

    1. Oh myyy, Katie!! I'm all of a sudden excited for you haha! Yes, Cambodia is one of my dream destination (together with Japan and Greece), specifically because of the ancient history and architecture. I'm sooo glad I went and it was so much better to be actually there. There's so much to see and to learn! I hope you put Cambodia in one of your must-sees too :) :)
