Cambodia
A vacation destination well known for the Angkor Wat, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
A country otherwise infamously known for the Khmer Rouge (赤柬), heroin and marijuana, as well as famines and poverty.
A civilization, who once enjoyed great prosperity and culture, now torn by decades of civil wars and numerous landmines lurking country-wide.
However, what struck me most was the simplicity and happiness of its people, despite the lack of possessions that we have and take for granted. Whether it's a candy, a dip into a cool river, a volleyball game played on dirt and mud, or a simple wave to a stranger, these all put big smiles on their faces. They were so genuine and radiant, maybe even infectious.
"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost. "
- H. Jackson Browne
"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want."
- Margaret Young
"Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
- Buddha
Sunrise at Angkor Wat
A mystic and tranquil moment.
Sunrise at Angkor Wat
5am, when the sun was still beneath the horizon and the sky was still dark.
Sunrise at Angkor Wat
Walking on this long, dark and silent bridge towards Angkor Wat. It rained the night before, giving the sky extra clarity. The reflections on the puddles of water were simply beautiful.
It felt like pilgrimage, totally awed by the immensity of nature and history.

Ta Prohm, otherwise known as the Tomb Raider Temple
A tree several hundred years old, resting upon a temple even more ancient in time.
Ancient temples and lush forests dominate the landscape, quiet yet powerful.
The Face of the Demon
Interestingly, according to Khmer myths, during a deal between the Gods and Demons, it was the Gods who broke the promise and stole the Elixir of Life, for the benefit of mankind of course..

A short hike up the hill to watch the sunset. Turns out the most unforgettable part lies after the sunset.

The Yearning
Yearnings that we all share. A yearning for life, for freedom, for acceptance, and for happiness.
And maybe a yearning for candies, too.
This is the beautiful face when you give them candies =) | 
還記得櫻花正開..
在櫻花前，一起許過的願嗎？
寺前 花下
夢斷 魂牽
折得一枝香在手，人間應未有
大樹幹上
落花．流水
紫藤花 
花飛花落花滿天，情來情去情隨緣
這些都藍得幾乎有點不真實
很有人都問：”怎麼櫻花不是粉紅色的？“
千朵萬朵壓枝低
逐鹿
班比
問君何所思
藍天樹下的小鹿
舐犢
日本櫻花有過百種
暮色初至
落紅不是無情物 化作春泥更護花
