wanderlust

Angkor Wat was originally built as a Hindu temple dedicated to Vishnu in the 1100s by then King Suryavarman. Over the next 900 years, as the kingdom of Cambodia changed, so did Angkor Wat - alternating between a Hindu temple and it's purpose today, a Buddhist temple.

Nobody actually lives in Angkor Wat now; it is protected by UNESCO and is undergoing renovations and restoration work. A lot of monks from Cambodia visit regularly. This group of three of them caught my eye because of their bright orange robes and were happy to practice their English.
