The faces of Siem Reap

zyzylyI have been in Cambodia for about the last 5 days. I am in Phnom Penh now, but spent most of the time in Siem Reap, which is where the big temples are. We spent most of the time out climbing around and shooting, so I haven't even begun to look at most of my pictures from there, except for a few.
I'm not too good at shooting temples anyway, so it might be all junk. I am going back to Siem Reap for a few days tomorrow, so I might get a second chance at some of the places.
In any case, the temples are impressive. We visited about 5 or 6 of them. Some of them were very crowded with tourists, but we had one of the more remote temples almost to ourselves. It was pretty cool climbing around up there. No Lara Croft, though.
We went to a place called Tuol Sleng yesterday. It is a genocide museum here in PP. It is hard to describe. I will write more about it later.
The rest of my group left this morning, so I am on my own. I am going to explore Phnom Penh today with the help of my new guide friend. I have to buy a new travel bag, as mine has split at the seams. I will catch the bus to Siem Reap in the morning.
I will write more about this girl in another post.
