My entire body is sticky from sweat and sweet fruit. The vendor had smiled so nicely to me, I felt that a refusal to his insistent sale might be taken as offensive. The pineapple had been tasty and quenched my thirst, but my fingers sticking together.
It is pretty much what most of us will see on a daily basis if we are travelling in a warm climate. It is the life saver at the end of a hot dusty day our on the road.
We were walking through the endless rooms, spaces and galleries of the temples in the huge Angkor Wat temple complex and came across this cat, sleeping in the pleasant sunshine and dappled shadow of a blind window – oblivious of all…
I recently wrote a few words about the floating fisherman’s villages in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. After posting that, I was asked by one of the TG Gurus whether I had seen more such villages in the region.
Once known as the “Pearl of Asia,” it was considered one of the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina in the 1920s. Phnom Penh, along with Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, are significant global and domestic tourist destinations for Cambodia.
We travelers are very familiar with all of the great travel sights around the world and certainly the magnificent Angkor Wat temple is amongst the very best known. However, perhaps less appreciated is that this much photographed and visited Angkor Wat temple is only one temple (albeit the best!) in the vast Angkor Temple Complex.
