Si je connaissais Siem Reap et les temples d’Angkor au Cambodge, je n’en connaissais rien d’autre. Alors quand l’occasion s’est présentée de revenir au Cambodge, pensez bien que je me devais d’aller faire un tour...

Je l’évoquais lors de l’article précédent marquant le retour au Cambodge 7 ans après, mais ce nouveau séjour à Angkor s’est révélé meilleur que je ne l’aurais pensé, compte tenu des échos que j’en avais eu. Co...

Cet article est avant tout une mise en garde. Nous avions décidé de commencer le séjour par aller au lac de Tonlé Sap, un classique lors d’un séjour à Siem Reap. Normalement le village « par défaut » est celui situé...

This tower was built by the French in the early 1900′s to guard the river, presumably against invaders or pirates. It’s fascinated me ever since I was in high school. We first drove through Kampong Cham in 2001, and I couldn’t get o...

I love those sugar palms. I think they make everything so exotic and tropical. Someday, I’ll plant a row down the promenade to my house… Siem Reap, Cambodia Please feel free to share my images—they are meant to be seen! Use them for you...

I’m sure he’s not a ship’s captain, I just thought he looked like one. This is actually an older post from my Flickr page, but I like how the image turned out, and felt like posting it again… He reminded me of what a seafaring...
