Scratch Angkor Wat off the list

Most people have a list of places they would like to visit.  Mine goes something like this:

• Spain (Granada specifically)
• North Korea
• Burma/Myanmar (scheduled for spring 2011)
• The Moon (scheduled for July 2019 because moon tickets are surprisingly cheaper in the summer)
• Africa (the entire continent, but not Egypt, because that's politically the Middle East)
• Egypt (to find King Tut's staff)

• And of course, inside the human body, specifically Martin Short's. 

One place that is not on that list is Angkor Wat in Cambodia.  The reason it is not on that list is because I was able to finally make it to this amazing place a few weekends ago.  Becky had already been before, but since places you go before you are married don't count, she had to do it again.  Sorry Becky, looks like those 40 European countries you visited in college don't count.  Here we come cheese museum of Switzerland!

But seriously, none of those places count for her.

Back to Angkor.  For those of you who don't know where Angkor is, it is in Cambodia.  For those of you that are still confused, Cambodia is a country.  Actually, its a country only three hours from Bangkok by car.  And Siem Reap/Angkor Wat are only three hours more once you cross the border.  You could also fly there in 45 minutes, but where is the adventure in that.  Also, it would have been like $400 more to fly.  

The weekend visit was really awesome.  It completely lived up to the hype for me.  I was really blown away by the scope of the entire place.  Angkor Wat itself is one of the most impressive human creations I've ever seen.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

Becky's list:

• Egypt
• Africa (also the entire continent)
• Jordan
• Peru
• Argentina
• Greece, the musical!

What is your list?
