Travel Moor: Cambodia makes it 7!

Our travels around Southeast Asia had come to a close. We've made it to a total of 7 countries and only scratched the surface of each one of them (except Thailand). Siem Reap, Camboida is home to one of the 7 Wonders of the World...Angkor Wat! Only being a 35 min flight away, we thought we should check it out! Only having a weekend to explore these wonders was going to be rushed, but we did it! We arrived late Friday evening and checked into our hotel to notice instantly that Camboida has an extremely strange way of living. An extremely rich government with an extremely poor population. It was instantly sad to see all the poverty and begging going on. Early Saturday, we planned on hitting the temples early and getting them all in on one day...around 11 o'clock we had enough...we needed a break! There was so much to see and the heat had us soaked with sweat by 8 o'clock that morning! We ended up seeing about 7 out of the hundreds, but the most popluar ones were checked off! Next we headed out to see the largest lake in all of Asia; Tonle Sap Lake. There we saw many floating villages and fish farms. It was amazing and depressing for us to see the way these people live out there. At sunset, we hiked up to the top of a moutain to see the sunset at one of the Phnom Bakahn temple. Hundreds of people filled the walls and stairs of this temple to watch the sunset over the Tonle Sap Lake. Super tired from the long day we got ourselves geared up to see the city life of Khmer people. You can see the need Camboida has everywhere you go. The beggers, the workers, you can smell the need. It was an good way for us to see all that we have and are so blessed with.
