The Angkor Wat. Words fail me. My first glimpse of it was on the back of a moto, heading towards the checkpoint to buy my pass - took the week long one for around 60 dollars. Very expensive, but worth it.
First glimpse of the Angkor took my breath away - 3 tiny, yet distintive towers in the distance, hidden in trees, that i've come so far just to see, had that impact on me. Stunned silence, that i am actually looking at it with my own eyes, and then great joy.
The main sandstone causeway across a huge moat to the Angkor Wat. The start of a symbolic walk to the centre of the universe at Mount Meru, the heavens epitomised by the central, tallest tower of the Angkor Wat, surrounded by 4 shorter towers.
