Exploring the Temples of Angkor

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 03:38:08 GMT

Producer: ianmack

When you're on vacation, there are few justifiable reasons for getting up at 5:30am. The ruins of Angkor, all that's left behind of the greatest empire Southeast Asia has ever known, are one such reason. The most famous temple is Angkor Wat, built in the 12th century. The period was marked by imaginative building projects, the construction of inspirational temples and palaces, the creation of complex irrigation systems and the development of magnificent walled cities. However, as Angkor was continually a target for attack from neighbouring Siam (present day Thailand), they were eventually sacked in the 15th century, and Angkor was abandoned to the jungle.

New Years Eve Down Under

Producer: ianmack

If there's one place that makes for a memorable New Year's Eve, it's Syndey, Australia. Who could forget drinking wine from a 2 litre pop bottle, lying beneath the Opera House, meeting random people on the street, and gazing at at the Harbour Bridge as it explodes with light? Pretty darn cool. For more, check out my online magazine www.BraveNewTraveler.com

A Visit To The Killing Fields of Cambodia

Wed, 08 Nov 2006 04:33:36 GMT

Producer: ianmack

For many people, Cambodia conjures up images of genocide, specifically the terrible reign of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. From 1975 to 1979, he instituted an agrarian reform policy based on Maoist ideology that saw the forced relocation, torture, and murder of at least a million people. With these facts in mind, I rode out to a former site of mass slaughter — Choeung Ek (the Killing Fields).
