like you, i am participating in this journey we call life! and for this moment, it means traveling this world exploring other cultures and seeking unique experiences...
Amazing work of architecture, worth taking the time to visit if your in Florence already. But go early to avoid the crowds as usual for such tourist sites. The intricacy of design and detail on the outside is most impressive.
At 20euro a person entrance fee, i actually skipped this one! maybe i am the only tourist in history to do this, but what can i say, i am cheap ;-) even from the outside you can tell its an amazing work of architecture and certainly of history as well.
Wow, certainly the most amazing of the historic ruins I have visited in S.E. Asia. Collection of dozens of seperate temples and grounds spreading over a huge area just north of Siam Reap once used as great universities and religious centers. Most of the temples were Hindu, but have been retrofited with Buddhas in addition. One gets the feeling that these religions coexist peacifully on this timeless, yet ancient site. Three days were hardly enough for me to experience this place.
Considered one of the holiest temples in Thailand, it houses the famous Emerald Buddha (not really emerald though). Three times a year at the change of the seasons, the King visits the temple and changes the statues outfit to celebrate this change. The temple itself is housed in the grounds of the so called Grand Palace which really is quite grand, and certainly worth seeing. Don't miss the miniture replica of Angkor Wat ;-) And if your too cheap, don't have much time, or really dislike other tourists en mass, go to Wat Pho just south of the Grand Palace, its quite similar, houses the worlds largest reclining Buddha statue, and is not as hard on the wallet.
haa! just when you thought you were in the middle of a boring, do nothing town, you find yourself at a pumping Cambodian disco club with 300+ locals, and groovy Cambodian electronic.
