my long overdue pics of cambodia


steep worn out steps.
see those tiny pple in the shelter? They were taking wedding pics, but it started pouring heavily. I was initally really upset with the rain as i barely even started touring the area. But luckily it was multiple short downpours, so i managed to get different types of photos :)

isn't this gorgeous? guess there is always certain beauty with rain. And you don't often come by a picture of Angkor Wat in the rain ;)

my all time favourite. I was trying pretty hard not to be obvious about taking a picture of a naked kid bathing. But seriously, I just couldn't resist it.

I guess that what i love so much about Cambodia, especially Seam Reap. It just seems so nice and slow and carefree. And in this pic, there seems to be little segregation between the locals and the tourist areas. The beauty of Angkor Wat would definitely not be the same without all that greenary surrounding it. It is rare to find a city still kept in its natural conditions, i.e. no city background etc. I'm just glad that I managed to be there at that time to see Seam Reap in this light as from what i've heard, such calm and serenity is somewhat lost with crowds of tourists during the peak season. I really hope to go back soon as I barely covered the area.
