Fascinating Cambodia

Cambodia is known as the Kingdom of Cambodia.  It is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is  bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.
 
Cambodians refer to their country as either Srok Khmer, meaning "Khmer's Land", or the slightly more formal Prateh Kampuchea, literally "Country of Kampuchea". The name "Cambodia" is used most often in the Western world while "Kampuchea" is more widely used in the East.
 
Here are two (2) of the must-see in Cambodia, among other exciting tourist destinations:
 
Angkor Wat  ( Temple City ) is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura- then capital of the Khmer Empire.
 
 
 
 
Wat Phnom is a Buddhist temple located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was built in 1372 and considered the tallest religious structure in the city. The pagoda was given the name of Wat Preah Chedey Borapaut. Wat Phnom is the central point of Phnom Penh.
 
Aside fom these two, you can also visit the Preah Vihear, Silver Pagoda inside the Royale Palace, Koh Ker, Genocide Museum, Killing Field, and Bayon Temple.

South Korea from the Star

I have to admit that I am a Korean drama fan--with the subtitles.  I find the scenes enjoyable and cute--- just feel good television series. So, I visited the country last year with my sister and we did enjoy it a lot. Everything was amazing and made me even prouder to be an Asian.    South Korea is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. It is a very homogeneous country, with nearly all native residents identifying themselves as ethnically Korean and speaking the Korean language. From its society, language, etiquette, manners, customs and protocol - you will definitely love this country.       Apart from Seoul- the capital of South Korea, I would encourage you to explore the following places.         T-Express Everland Rollercoaster- my first and last! :-)   With my lovely sister and travel partner :-)       Na...
