Cambodia is located in Southeast Asia and is bordered by Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. It is on the Gulf of Thailand and the Mekong River runs through the country into the Tonle Sap. It is becoming a popular tourist destination, particularly for Europeans and Australians. It is a bit more difficult for Americans to fly there, but as tourism becomes more popular, more and Americans are heading to Cambodia due to it being a more exotic destination. This country has a very interesting history and culture that we really enjoyed learning about and experiencing first hand. Also, just in case you were wondering,Angkor = city.
Angkor Wat
Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world and the most visited tourist attraction in Cambodia. It was originally built for the Hindu god Vishnu, but over time became a Buddhist temple and was cared for by monks. On our trip, this was really talked up and hyped up so much that by the time we actually got there we couldn’t help but feelslightly disappointed. We are not entirely sure why, but we were hoping for more. This is not to say that it is not an interesting place to visit with important historical meaning; it just did not ‘WOW’ us like we were expecting. Others in our tour group also expressed this. While Angkor Wat is surely worth visiting and taking the time to explore, there are also other interesting temples and ruins nearby that might be even more impressive....... >> http://ln.is/NeEmT
