Theary & I inside of Ciao Cafe, Jan 2004 after a dinner cruise

I would love more than anything to travel back to Southeast Asia. It will happen when I gather the funds. I miss dragonfruit, mangosteens, rambutans, fresh young coconut right off the tree.. *sigh* it is not the same eating them canned, believe me. 

Before I went to Vietnam, I was in Cambodia. There was a day when we trekked through this crazy jungle. When I say crazy, I mean our tour guide had to give us a warning about sticking close to him to avoid snakes and what not.  I stuck close enough.. I mean, the man was leading us through a jungle wielding a machete. That's a huge sign you seriously need to follow directions!

Destination: Lara Croft: Tomb Raider location: the temple complex: Ta Prohm, Cambodia

There's a photo of me standing in the roots at home somewhere, but it is not scanned.

After visiting that temple complex, we hiked over to Angkor Wat.

 To get to the center and highest peak of Angkor Wat, you go up these crazy steep stairs.

The railing originally wasn't there. It had to be installed after a French girl had slipped on the way down and fallen to her death :[

It felt like an extremely long climb, believe me. Once I was at the top, I was running around inside the various tunnels/hallways just gawking at everything.

So here is my day 5 entry. I cheated since I posted more than one photo.
