DANGER: EXTREME MAXIMUM WATTAGE

As Wat enthusiasts, Angkor Wat was the climax of our travels, the apex of our odyssey, the culmination of everything we've ever done our short lives, and...ok, you get the idea.

For this blogger, the trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia and the surrounding ancient temples (Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom of Tomb Raider fame, and many more) meant adding a second check on my list of man-made Wonders of the World visited.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words and an hour of internet costs 80 Baht, let's cut to the chase:


Angkor Wat at sunrise:

School kids at a local monestary in English class.

Our intrepid guide in Cambodia, "T," aka Mr. T, aka Iced T, telling us a "mani-pedi-botox" joke.



Ok, these silly pics are only worth 990 words apiece, so let's add silly captions


Who's got a sweaty orange shirt and a beard? These handsome chaps!

One of them used to be a ballerina, and the other a wrestler. Bet you can't guess which is which!

One of them was Harvard Dance Team '04, and the other was '05. Bet you can't guess which is which!

It's good to be the king!

The element of supplies!

Get over here...finish him!
