Just got back from a month-long holiday. So here’s my entry for this week’s Sky-watch Friday…

Experiencing temple-burn out? Try the balloon rides in Siem Reap! Now is the perfect time (summer) to do it, I guarantee you. For only $15 you get a tethered balloon ride 200meters above the ground and a spectacular view of the Angkor Wat complex amidst the the jungle and rice fields that surround it.

Angkor Wat
Siem Reap, Cambodia

This is my first entry to the Sunday Scenery Meme. I’d like to thank Tarheel Ramblings for extending me the invitation.

This is the world-famous Angkor Wat temple – the world’s largest religious structure, a truly magnificent Khmer architectural masterpiece, and the highlight to every tourist’s visit to Cambodia.

I’ve been to Angkor Wat many times already but it never fails to amaze me every time I visit. And who isn’t amazed?
