Angkor Wat



Angkor Wat is one of the most famous world heritage sites. It's a temple that is located in Cambodia, and was built in 12th century.

My wife and I traveled to Cambodia by airplane from Thailand. We were backpacking for a month. When we got to the airport in Phnom Phen we didn't have the local currency so we had to change our money to Cambodian dollars. We didn't know the currency rate when we changed 300 US dollars. Guess how much local money we got? About 1 million dollars. It could not fit in our wallet. We were shocked to be millionaires!

On the first day in Siem Riep, we took a tuk tuk tour around Angkor Wat. We saw the amazing architecture in the jungle. It's incredible!

We decided to ride bikes on the next day to look at the intricate carvings.
