Whilst most people are amazed at the beauty and mind blowing architecture of the temples at Angkor (of which Angkor Wat is only one of loads) I am bowled over by the invasion of Korean tourists, a sample is above...now sadly these are not as good as the ones I've seen today but having got up at 4.30 am to cycle to the temples to see the sunrise I forgot my camera so they are all on Ingrid's camera so you will have to wait until I get home to see them...Now Korean Tourist watching is a great hobby to have as they are completely oblivious to being watched, photographed or talked to ... in fact it is a bit like a bubble of Koreans in a Korean-made balloon has landed in the middle of the temples ... as soon as you leave they are no where to be seen.
I'm a bit templed out to be honest - and whilst I can appreciate that they are an amazing architectural feat I am really much more of a modern history girl which may make me a complete philastine but so be it ... anyway I've included a photo of me just so you can see that I did go to Ankhor Wat as well as a picture of a guy at the place I am staying at and his incredible mosquito killing machine ... they keep trying to get me to buy one but I'm not sure there will be much call for it up in the Himalayas.

Glad to see you have not lost your philistine tendencies. I too am a modern history lady.
I've been in Centerparcs for a week - probably bit different to Cambodia I imagine.
Take care, wear some bloody sunscreen and buy a hat - burnt knuckles is not a good look AT ALL
Love from us
Love the turban look, you are going all hippie traveler on me. If you go out and buy a hacky sack I will never talk to you again!!!!
How the hell did you find one of mums 40 year old tea towels to wear out there????? Totaly agree with the above comments, get some suncream, you will end up looking like some 12 year old tanning salon victim if not ;)
Glad you are still enjoying it, find me some dody looking cars out there and take some picture :P
