Seems Reap

I can't believe it has been nearly 6 years

since I made the eventful journey to Siem Reap

maybe I'm just getting old...
 

but instead of enjoying the whole Angkor Wat temple thing,

I found myself falling in love with the quiet little city

Instead of just being a place to lay my head...

it somehow captured my heart as well.

I don't really know if I can put a finger on what I like about the place.
The food, though not bad, isn't that great.

 

They even had their own (chinese?) fast food...

Some people really got happy over their pizza
but I didn't seem to be affected by it.
 

Wasn't a big fan of pub street.
Was a small area but not as much life as I expected.
(not that I am into the night life)

 

Perhaps the reason was simply the same reason why this was my favourite place in Siem Reap
Despite it being a major city.
There is beauty and serenity

 

Modernization hasn't over run tradition and culture just yet.

How long this would last, I cannot tell...

I can only hope that the next time I see her...
Siem Reap would have still retained her beauty.
