Suosday, Cambodia! A quick weekend in Siem Reap

17th May 2014

For the past two months, I have been planning a short trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia with one of my oldest friends. Interestingly, this is my first trip to a Southeast Asian country for purely personal reasons. I haven’t traveled nearly enough to nearby countries (something I mean to change), and I am learning more and more about the world I live in and how truly small I am.

We went on this trip last weekend, enduring countless hours in airports and delays on our respective flights. We spent three and a half days in the company of the lovely Khmer people and awe-inspiring ruins. Dry season in Cambodia is not as picturesque, but we battled less crowds and had many coconut shakes.

I would love to go again sometime, during tourist season when the grass is green and the lake is full and when the temperature, according to the locals, is 16-20 degrees Celsius.
