Currently I'm in Ho Chi Minh City, arriving here from Singapore this morning. The internet is much better (and cheaper) here than previous spots. Following Cambodia, I was in Taiwan, then Singapore and now here.
I wanted to share so more photos from Angkor Wat before talking about Taiwan and Singapore. I took 566 pictures in Cambodia, so many that I had to buy an external backup drive to keep from fililng up my laptop. I haven't really gone through them much, but pulled out a few to share here. These pictures were uploaded to a photo-sharing site called PhotoBucket so they may be a bit slow.
The first few highlight the exquisite detail that covers literally every surface of these enormous monuments. The rest are a collection of shots from around the various sites, culminating in the now-famous "Kris in front of his tripod with a remote" shot (before Genesa can ask, I'm not to worried about someone swiping my camera while I'm posing - I'm faster and better nourished). The weather was pretty decent there, considering this is the rainy season.
Speaking of rain, today it poured in Vietnam. Probably a good thing as the driving rain keeps the mosquitoes at bay. Southeast Asia is in the midst of a dengue fever epidemic so fewer bugs = good news. I'm not a fan of bug spray, but I've overcome that aversion recently.
Enjoy the pictures, and have a great 4th of July.
