the best of 2010: visiting Siem Reap, Cambodia


Our trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia last May was truly a trip of a lifetime. I've always wanted to see Angkor Wat and all the other temples there ever since I watched Angelina Jolie's Tomb Raider. I knew it would be so fascinating to see the centuries-old structures and indeed, the many wats we saw didn't disappoint. 

Aside from visiting the many ancient sites, Reden and I had a grand time meeting the locals. Our driver, Mr. Han and tour guide, Mr. Kunthea, were both very accommodating. We also enjoyed trying Cambodian cuisine served at the restaurants along Pub Street, the market and the streets. Shopping was also fun because the goods were cheap at the Old Market and made for really nice and sulit pasalubongs.

Our vacation wouldn't have gone half as smoothly if we didn't stay at The Villa. We just availed one of their packages, which included accommodations and tours, and they made sure we enjoyed every single second of our Siem Reap adventure.

We would definitely visit Cambodia again.
