Cambodia and Vietnam

Just got back from a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. Angkor Wat was simply amazing. I was awed by the majestic beauty of the temples. Thousands of artists and craftsmen must have sacrificed their lives for this project. And yet at the end nature is ready to reclaim this jungle. Evidenced by the trees that simply overwhelmed the buildings.

Vietnam is a country of stunning natural beauty. From fields of flowers in Dalat in the highland to the lush green rice paddies in the deltas, everywhere I turned there was a perfect picture. Cruising in Ha Long Bay was like floating in a Chinese landscape painting. Nature is still the greatest artist. Everything we do pales in comparison.

I really felt affinity with the Vietnamese. Historically and culturally they have been very close to China. We can see it from their Confucius temple to all the old writings on stone tablets. 70% of the Vietnamese language have Chinese roots. And in Cholon, one can conduct business in Cantonese.

I would love to visit Angkor Wat someday, hopefully soon. I was just wondering, do you have take a malaria shot before you go to Vietnam and Cambodia? My friend took one when she backpacked through southeast Asia.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Hi Uncle Henry...hehe...thought i'd drop by and wish you a Happy Lunar New Year and Kung Hey Fatt Choy!!
the photos are simply breath taking, and yes, China with over 5,000 years of history has definitely brought influence to her neighboring countries and others who have traded with her...not to mention the migration of Chinese people throughout the Asian continent and the whole world...

Where you visiting for business or pleasure? I'm gonna go take a look at your pictures....

Did you visit the Killing Fields? If I ever get to travel abroad, I would visit the places of happiness as well as sorrow....it just seems respectful to acknowledge both sides of a country's history.

I've never been to Vietnam but it sounds beautiful ~ and definitely didn't know that their language has such a high percentage of Chinese roots.
