The Angkor Dream

Monday, July 30, 2007

Since the days I saw McCurry's photos of Angkor a year ago, I have been dreaming of Siem Reap. And there have been other dreams of Indo-China - to visit Vietnam along with Combodia, and may be a little bit of Malaysia too. I made a home work for this as far back as four years ago, but never really got around to kick myself up to travel that way. Reading about Angkor in a few blogs recently, the temptations are back again. But right now, a journey to these parts of the world is not visible anywhere in the horizon. Reasons are many. First, I hardly have any holidays with me and I end up spending them as quickly as they accumulate. Second, whenever I do find time, it gets spent travelling somewhere within India. Let's admit it, there are few places as magnanimous as Angkor anywhere in India or rest of the world, but for some unknown reasons, it is India that I prefer. And I somehow don't feel like burning my money overseas either. I know IndoChina is cheap and I can afford it, but just can't make up my mind on it. Wish I had some sponsors!! :D
