Until I find time for a new post about my own travels, here's my latest travel video find: The Angkor Temple Experience.
The video
In a little more than 4 minutes, an express visit of the temples of Angkor, in Cambodia. Superb restitution of the atmosphere, between tourist crowd and bright faces of the local people.

Angkor, I love it... A really magical place, despite the tourist crowds.
I went there twice, a long time ago. And I will go back! The beauty of the temples (especially Bayon and Ta Phrom), the villages and the forest, the immensity of the site, which you could once ride around on a rented motorcycle (or a bicycle, for the brave), made a strong impression on me.
Update : yes, I went back there, a little less than a year after I wrote this post! See here:

Memories in pictures
My first trip to Cambodia was in 2001. At that time, no digital pictures. But I scanned my film and you can find some of these pictures on my other site, Notebooks of Southeast Asia :
→ Cambodia - 2001
My second trip to Cambodia took place in 2003. Same thing, the pictures are on my little online gallery :

Oh, my... I'm in need of Asia, me.
