Ya. It is my brothers birth day. He is turning 19. I may have missed his birth day but today I went to 3 different temple areas in Seim Reip: Angkor Vat, Angkor Thom, and Dop Prom.

The first one was Angkor Vat, we went there at 5 at the morning to see the sun rise. Then we returned to the hotel and ate breakfast and continued are journey to Dop Prom. Dop Prom has gigantic trees and was originally Buddhist and was converted to Hindu. It was gigantic and I am so surprised that they got the stones there from a querie 50 kilometers away.

Then we went to Angkor Vat again to take a tour. It is opposite from Dop Prom because it was not converted from Buddhist to Hindu but Hindu to Buddhist. It was the seventh ancient wonder and is now the eleventh. It is pretty bid and the carving were so detailed at amazing for there age of building.

Then we went to Angkor Thom and saw 2 temples. Angkor Thom is a huge amount of ancient wonders that used to be a city that housed 1 million people. It also so small it would be so cramped and super busy every day. The temples we saw were Bayon witch has 4 Buddha faces on each tower and a tower for all provenances. Then we saw another temple witch I forget the name of. Then we saw the royal palace.
