I was not able to post from my last location as I did not have time to waste indoors in an online cafe. Last I left you I was headed to Saigon, aka Ho Chi Min City. We did not spend much time there as we had bigger things in mind. After one not very notable night there, we were in the airport to take a little journey to Vietnam's western neighbor, Cambodia.

Ankgor.

That's right, that Tomb Raider place.

I curse myself for not bringing the right cables to this cafe to show you pictures, but suffice it to say, it is just as cool in person as it is in pictures. The temples are a wonder to behold. You can climb up and into all the temples, you can hug those famous roots, and you can take more pictures than you know what to do with.

The temples of Ankgor are amazing bits of human ingenuity. Did you know that most archeologists think that the building of the biggest temple, Angor Wat, probably lead to the downfall of the civilization? I am not sure if that is true, but I really like the idea. Imagine Boston disappearing because the next major there attempts to do an Even Bigger Big Dig.

Fast forward to Hong Kong. I am not here very long, but I have had a good time. This place is where East meets West. Imagine big skyscrapers with a bamboo construction lattice on the front of it. Imagine western prices, but eastern haggling.

As a good tourist, I went up to the top of the hill, Victoria Mountain. There is an insane train that takes you straight up the 22 degree slope of the mountain. Going up makes you feel like you just got on the first hill of a roller coaster. Hate to be on that thing when it breaks. Once you are on top, the view on the mountain is beautiful. Just like the postcards. If you want, you can go on a nice nature walk to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Today, we are off to get some Dim Som and hopefully check out the old town. Practice my Bruce Lee impressions. Listen to more Christmas music. Fly to a new country.
