Me at Angkor Wat

Yes, it’s me and yes, it’s Angkor Wat in the background. It is, without a doubt, one of the top tourist attractions in SE Asia and justifiably so. But Angkor Wat isn’t just about the wat, it’s also about the Khmer civilization that was so vital and so significant for about half a millennium. What I learned when I went to see Angkor Wat was that it was only a part of a larger story.
