Angkor Wat, Cambodia

3 wonderful days spent at the enchanting Angkor Wat soaking up the incredible engravings and detailed carvings built since 800ad. Over time the temples were buried under trees and shrubs. They were eventually discovered in what was then a jungle by the French in 1800s. Tomb Raider was filmed here too

 I visited Macau island for the day - it is the Las Vegas of China - full of casinos (casinoes?). The buildings are insane.

Kuala Lumpar

I must go back to Kuala Lumpar - I was only there for 4 days. It's an interesting mix of religious temples, mosque-like ornate buildings and "Western" high rise office greyness. 

Religion and culture is diverse and I travelled down a road where a Sikh mosque sat next to a Christian Church which was next to a Buddhist Temple, next to another Chinese Temple, next to a Muslim school, next to a Christian school next to a Hindu Temple. You get the picture
