Angkor Wat

I finally made it to one of the places that I always said i would go. Angkor Wat it is located in central Cambodia. I watched a program on the discovery channel about it when I was 12 and ever since then there is not other ancient ruin that I have wanted to go to more. For those of you who do not know it was created by the Khmer Dynasty an empire that ruled most of southeast Asia from Thailand to Vietnam from the 10Th-13Th century. They left behind huge temples that they built for Buddhist and Hindu gods. They built them for both because during the empires existence the main religion of the rulers switched from Hindu to Buddhist. Anyway they built some amazing temples that are scattered throughout the jungles of Cambodia just outside the City of Siem Reap. When I say they are huge i am not exaggerating Angkor Wat which is the largest of them is considered to be the largest religious structure in the world. It is absolutely enormous and beautifully carved stones are everywhere. As usual I lack the vocabulary to express just how amazing it is but if you are interested I would advise you to look it up on the Internet or come here on your own I am sure getting here would be much easier if you just flew anyway. This is also the place where you have the huge trees that have grown virtually on top of the ruins. It is truly magnificent to see these trees roots cover an entire wall and then on top of the wall see the tree go hundreds of feet in the air. I am sure all of you have seen pictures of this place at one time or another you just may not have heard of it because it is in Cambodia which is not exactly a tourist hot spot but that is all changing. Besides the incredible heat it is really something that everyone should see. I really enjoyed it but the only problem now is deciding where the next place that I have always wanted to go is. I am thinkin Manchu Pichu is next on the list.
