Scambodia - Cambodia

June 2008 At its peak in the 12th century, the Angkor kingdom spread across Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Angkor is the largest pre-industrial city known to man. So how did Angkor mysteriously disappear? It was the size of modern LA, a masterpiece of civil engineering. Forests were stripped and rivers removed to make way for temples, palaces and markets. Then, in a development that has long perplexed archaeologists, Angkor suddenly vanished. Now a recent study by the University of Sydney is re-examining Angkor using radar remote-sensing data from NASA. As archaeologist Damien Evans explains, the team's findings give a stark warning to Cambodia's corrupt and greedy rulers, and to modern societies worldwide. 'We are facing similar issues', says Evans, 'The same mistakes are being repeated today'. Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

"If you Reap what you sow (part 1)" Jnolff's photos about Siem Reap, Cambodia

A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Siem Reap, Cambodia by TravelPod blogger Jnolff titled "If you Reap what you sow (part 1)" Jnolff's travel blog entry: "It's been a few days. Long story short (though about to get much longer), I've been having the time of my life and haven't wanted to take a break to write about it. You understand. "Most enchanting boat trip in southeast Asia" may be a stretch for the boat ride Battambang- Siem Reap, but I have nothing to compare it to. It was long. And hot. And longer. And hotter. Basically, you're moving the speed of a pro racing turtle through flooded wetlands toward the Tonle Sap with huge-ass diesel engine making tons of noise in 90+ degree heat, direct sunlight, and 100% humidity for eight hours. That's the bad news. The good news is that the boat is not just a backpacker tourist trap- it stops at every single one of these little floating villages to make deliveries and pick ups- it's a side of rural river village life in Cambodia you would never see otherwise, and that alone made it worth the discomfort. The best part of the trip for me was that it was a backpacker tourist trap, and I met some of the most amazing people on that boat who I would spend my time with while in Siem Reap. First are Lindsay and Paul- a Canadian couple from Alberta. Paul is an electrical engineer and retired pro triathlete (he competed on the Olympic team in Beijing) and Lindsay is about to finish up her school for physiotherapy ...
