Angkor Wat

The ancient civilization.

The empire lasted from around 11C- 14C. The buildings are more beautiful with more detail than anything built today.... and they are still standing after 600 years of abandonment.

We arrived at 5am to catch the sunrise. It was beautiful, and the pics were cool. We had the morning to ourselves to wander around and play. We spent the whole day there, fun day.

Walking around Angkor Wat is like going into a weird time warp. You can feel the presence of the ancient civilization, yet you are surrounded by tons of tourists who are there basically just to take pictures. We were lucky to have the place to ourselves in the morning, but when 10am hit, it was basically just another tourist trap, albeit an amazing one.
