Ruins

Even though it was extremely hot & humid, the Angkor ruins of Cambodia still managed to take my breath away. 

The 10th century ruins of Hindu temple Banteay Srei, one of my 2 favorites. The carvings on the red sandstone were still clearly visible, unlike its bigger counterparts like Angkor Wat or the Baphuon. 

Doesnt it look like a dollhouse?

At the recommendation of a friend, I stopped also at Banteay Samre, another Hindu temple often empty but just as beautiful as Banteay Srei. I was sweaty, dirty, barefoot & wearing pants 2 sizes too big for me! But the grandeur of this temple and its courtyards make it the most memorable for me.

At before I left, the smiles of street children captured my heart.
