Angkor Archaeological Park, located near Siem Reap, is one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. The area stretches of 400 square kilometers and contains the remains of several temples and capitals of the Khmer Empire. The magnificent structures were built from the 9th to 15th century. These ruins attest to the awesomeness of human creativity and capability.
On the bus ride from the Vipassana course, I met Teck from Singapore. He was also going to be visiting the temples and offered for me to tag along with his tour guide. I gladly accepted!

The first day we went by tuk tuk to the furthest temples that created the "Grand Circuit."
