Collapse

On a quiet morning in March, I journeyed deeper into the templates near Siem Reap and intentionally avoided the more grandiose structures that attract throngs of Japanese and Korean tourists — whom I despise.

In traveling Cambodia, there was worse than the anguished feeling of finding a moment of solitude at an extraordinary location only to hear the rumbling of a pack of 20-30 deranged 1st world Asians who seemingly can’t do anything alone.

That’s what made this morning trip so wonderful — by visiting the smaller, more remote sites first in the morning, I successfully bypassed the majority of the the Japanese/Korean hordes.

The hallway ruins of this temple complex framed the Cambodian jungle elegantly I thought, despite the background being slightly washed out due to weather conditions.
