Angkor Wat

11/18/2012

Angkor Wat is the worlds largest religious structure.
Angkor Wat means 'temple city' which is very fitting as Angkor Wat is massive - you could spend an entire day at Angkor Wat and not see everything it has to offer.

Hubby and I woke up bright and early to see Angkor Wat at sunrise.  I was a little disappointed that it was a very hazy day, therefor my pictures are not as good as I had hoped for.  None the less, Angkor Wat was AMAZING.  (And I really couldn't believe how many people were out for the sunrise viewing - it was hard to find a good spot to take pictures!)

Inside the temple there were walls as long as a football field with entire scenes carved from top to bottom. 
Picture
As you know by now, I have a thing for columns.

Picture
The uppermost level of the temple where the towers are is not continually open - they have specific hours and you must have your shoulders covered and your knees covered to be allowed entrance.  We did not go to the upper level.   
Picture
If you will notice, there are no handrails on the stairs going up into the towers.

We are blessed.

On the backside of Angkor Wat there were monkeys everywhere and they were causing all sorts of trouble! 
Picture
These guys were taking these incense containers, dumping them and tossing them all over the place.  Notice the look on this monkeys face?  He is looking at the monkeys in the next picture......
Picture
Enough said.
Picture
And check this out....Monkeys VS dogs.
Picture
This was the first and only time this trip I saw carvings like this.  I'm not even sure what they are - little old men?  Are they Hindu or Buddhist or neither?
Picture
Picture
No temple is complete without Nagas
Picture
It was another great morning with the love of my life in an amazing place I will not soon forget.

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
