From a thousand years ago, Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The very famous Angkor wat. The iconic 3 maize on the building. Build by a succession of kings, the whole place is very much Hindu. Might be very much better if I had read some Cambodia history beforehand if not they are pretty much just ruins and some cravings. I had watch Tomb raider but too lazy to read about history.

The main sites have undergo restoration but the rest are pretty much in shambles. There are wooden poles here and there for support and sometimes I feel that I could be buried in rubble anytime.

Definitely worth a visit but once is enough. After visiting the main sites, the rest looks almost alike, long flight of stairs and nothing up there. Siem Reap is like just like Thailand with lots and lots of tourist. Khmer cuisine is almost the same as thai as well. Even their nightmarket sells all the stuff that you can get in thai. I like Amok, some kinda khmer curry dish. Food choices in abundance and beer for 1usd. It's a great place to spend some time.
