Angkor Archaeological Park

Angkor Archaeological Park is an astonishing (I’m trying to use more interesting words) place indeed. Angkor Archaeological Park is an area with an Immense amount  of temples. Some of the ancient temples there are more than 1,000 years old. In Angkor Archaeological Park there is home to the ruins of Angkor (well now you know where the name of the park came from). A few examples of these Magnificent ruins are, the Angkor Wat, Bayon, and other ruins. Much of the ruins there were once part of the Vast Khmer empire. The Khmer empire stretched across much of Southeast Asia. There are plenty of temples and i think it would be a great place to go, Do you?   

Bali is Calling You!!!

First of all, I would like to expand my writing skills by adding similes. Now let’s get to my blog!

Imagine living near a lake, you could go fishing or swimming whenever you want. What would be better than that? Uhhmm… let me think about that. How about living literally “on” the water! Well, you can in a little awesome place called Bali, Indonesia. Besides the homes on the water, Bali has many more interesting attractions. One of them is Mount Agung. Mount Agung is an active volcano, so watch out when it erupts unless  you want to be as hot as a ghost pepper! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride through a safari on an elephants back? Well stop your wondering and do it at Bali Safari and Marine Park! Here you can feed the animals, ride the animals, and even eat right next to them, at the parks wonderful restaurant! This is a place where you and your family can be as wild as the animals themselves. Want to “monkey” around with your family. Just visit the Ubud Monkey Forest Sanctuary! You can learn about, feed, and observe the monkeys in the forest. After a long day of exploring Bali’s many attractions, you and your family are tired. Where are you going to stay? Why not stay at Amankila, a cliffside, 5 star luxury resort. This resort has a private white-sand beach perfect for sandcastles! The beach borders the North Pacific Ocean. But who wants to swim in the ocean when the resort has a special three level pool! The pool is as cool as an iceberg, perfect for getting out of Bali’s hot and humid weather. All the suites are elevated so you can see all of the amazing views, of the ocean and surrounding areas right from your bedroom. This resort only has 34 rooms so make your reservations quickly. Now I ask you, would you like to visit Bali, because I certainly would?

One Fun Fact for my Readers: If you look at Bali on a map it looks like a duck's head or a fish depending on how you see it!!!!!

water lyfe

I would love to visit Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam. Why you ask, because of all the untaught (natural) environment. For examples, the Virgin Forest of over 37,000 hectares, the white sandy beaches, and the varieties(difference) of wildlife there. The sad part about is that this is an almost unknown place. International tourist and Vietnamese just recently discovered Phu Quoc Island. The government has formed a plan to develop the the island into a high quality ecotourism destination by 2020. Until then, people can adore (enjoy) the coconut trees and calm blue waters. Would you like to visit Phu Quoc Island?

Halong Bay a Amazing Place

Halong Bay Vietnam also known as the Bay of Descending Dragons. Just imagine more than 2000 islands rising out of the magnificent waters, because thats what this bay is. Halong translates as “where the dragon descends into the sea”. It’s called Bay of Descending Dragons because of a story where people saw a snake like creature, or dragon from the mountains. It even has a legend where the bay was created by a great dragon from the mountains. Then charged toward the coast and made all the valleys and crevasses. Finally when it descended into the sea the area around it was filled with water. Many people travel the caves in the islands, and see the amazing site. I would like to go to Vietnam to see the Halong Bay. What places in Southeast Asia would to visit?

The Coolest Place In India

If I could go anywhere in India I would go to Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippines. One reason is that the they have very pretty surroundings and mountains. The layers of the ground are very neat with all of the grass. Their food “oh” looks very delicious with all of the kabobs and meat. There are many cool physical features in the Philippines. There are very unique things about this place that I find interesting. My great uncle Abe was in the Philippine death march and wrote a book bout it. The things that make it unique are the food and physical features. What is your favorite place in India to visit? Tell me more!!!

Sun at its Final Peak

In South Asia, the place I would go to is the Temples at Bagan, Myanmar. They say that, Bagan is a very spiritual land.The city attracted monks and students from as far as India, Ceylon as well as the Khmer Empire. According to the Burmese chronicle, Bagan was founded in the second century CE, and strengthened in 849 CE by King Pyinnya. To me, its amazing to think that there would be something left of an old history to experience right now.(I would like the reader to be able to experience and understand the feelings I have for something.) The Bagan city grew in size, and became a familiar center for religious and worldly studies. They specialize in Pali scholarship in grammar and philosophical-psychological studies, as well as working in a variety of language. They definitely seemed to be more of an advanced group. I know lots of people have lost touch to their spiritual side. I’m not trying to sound like some Buddhist or priest, but if people only stopped and experienced the temples instead of going through the motion I think they would be able to connect in a significant way. People say that the Temples at Bagan, Myanmar have one of the most beautiful sunsets, so while I’m exploring the Thatbyinnyu Temple, I’ll make sure to catch the alluring sun at it’s final appearance of the day. What would you do if were to suddenly appear at the Temples at Bagan?

No Place I'd Rather Be

Magnificent. Stunning. Exquisite. Those are all words that can be used to describe the Krabi Province of Thailand. There’s over 130 tropical islands, crystal clear water, hot springs, fascinating limestone cliffs, waterfalls, breathtaking caves, coral reefs filled with fascinating marine life, and of course, gorgeous beaches.  

Not only is there extraordinary scenery, the Krabi Province is also like a playground for adventure seekers (I’m working on using similes). You could go snorkeling with tropical fish and other exotic marine life in coral reefs that are like underwater jungles. Or you could go kayaking and sailing in the Andaman Sea, surrounded by water as clear as glass. In Khao Phanom Bencha and Than Bok Khorani, two of the main mainland national parks, you can choose to go trekking and bird watching. The strange rock formations in Krabi are perfect for rock climbing as well.  

Not much of an adventure seeker? That’s okay too because Krabi can also be the perfect place to sit back and relax. The pace is unhurried and there are lots of secluded islands that can be reached only by boat. There typically isn’t much development on many of the islands, so you won’t have to worry about high-rise buildings blocking your view or large factories polluting the air either.

Everyone can find something entertaining to do in Krabi, whether you’re looking for new adventures or you just want to appreciate the awe-inspiring scenery from a beachside bungalow. What kinds of fun activities would you like to enjoy if you got the chance to visit these remarkable beaches?
