Angkor Wat, just outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia is one of the must-see sites in Southeast Asia. It is the largest religious monument in the world, and it is surrounded by a dozen other impressive temples that the Khmer Empire erected between the ninth and twelfth centuries.
SIEM REAP TOWN is just a jumping off point for the temples so it has turned into a busy touristy down, a little artificial but quite cute.

Dinner at Haven, a restaurant that is also a training center empowering orphans
who are getting too old for orphanages by training them for careers in hospitality. |

ANGKOR WAY - DAY 1: We rented bikes and quickly looked at the temples without doing much research. We found the temple where Tomb Raider was filmed and spent a LOT of time in Tomb Raider mode.
 |
| This is right before Jeremy found the golden statue, cursed by Ramses I (we think) |
 |
| Behind this stone wall was a 300 meter drop. Alina jumped over it and then pulled herself up, Yes, we have a very vivid imagination |
 |

 |
| A beer and a sunset. What else does one need? |
ANKOR WAT DAY 2: We hired a guide. He refused to give us any information but he did follow us around all day and took fantastic pictures of us. The other fantastic pictures were taken by Jeremy.

| Ridiculous cuteness, sunrise, and Angkor |
 |
| Our guide forced us to take really stupid pictures all day |
 |
| Practicing for a career in modelling |
 |
| Is this a magical pictures or what? |
 |
| This is how Alina eats pineapple when people are looking |
 |
| ... And this is what happens when she thinks no one is looking |
 |
| We saw some monkeys in Angkor. Not surprisingly, it inspired Jeremy |
BACK IN SIEM REAP we partied a little more with some new friends - a rare and happy occasion because we've mostly forgotten how to communicate with strangers.
 |
| On this picture, you can tell we are partying because we are drinking wine |
 |
| Best party EVER |
 |
| Our new friends. See: we told you they were real |
