Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Taj Mahal in India

* Week 1

+Day 1-3: Angkor Wat(Cambodia)

You know, I'm interested in Angkor Wat because Cambodia is a my country neighbour's and we're nearly the same culture (eg: religions, transports and cuisine). If you're read anything at all about Angkor Wat, you'll probably know at least 3 things : Angkor is one of the most beautiful and suggestive place on the planet, the Angkor Wat Temples area is much bigger than the Angkor Temple alone, and last, nothing is homogeneous, being the temples built in different times, during a four centuries process.

Angkor Wat is a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia , built for the king Suryavarmanin 2 the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors. We can find someting mystical and massive in the stone temples stretching up like fingers to the sky. And so they keep coming to Angkor Wat.

+Day 4-6: Siem Reap

In my opinion, if you visit the Angkor Wat temple I think you should be visit Siem Reap because The city of Siem Reap is the capital city of Siem Reap province in northwestern Cambodia, and is the gateway to Angkor Wat.

Siem Reap has colonial and Chinese-style architecture in the Old French Quarter, and around the Old Market. In the city, there are traditional Apsara dance performances, craft shops, silk farms, rice-paddy countryside, fishing villages and a bird sanctuary near the Tonle Sap Lake.

*Week 2

+Day 1-4: Taj Mahal(India)

When I was in high school, I always wonder about the history and architecture of Taj Mahal. It's really attracted me. The Taj Mahal crown of buildings also "the Taj"
is a mausoleum located in Agra, India. It is one of the most recognizable structures in the world.

In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures.

The Taj has some wonderful specimens of polychrome inlay art both in the interior and exterior on the dados, on cenotaphs and on the marble jhajjhari (jali-screen) around them.
