The Bucket List 10

Just last year, I crossed two items off my bucket list -- Climb the Great Wall of China, and see the limestone karsts of Krabi, Thailand. Both of these happened purely by grace -- they were an unearned, undeserved, and unmerited blessing from above.

What is also striking about both experiences, is that they happened when I least expected it, but just at the right season in my life. They were not on any of my timelines or to-do lists, they just happened at the best possible time.

So these that follow -- I've no schedule for them. I trust that they will be given to me, or not be given to me, for all the right reasons. After all, my God is a God of perfect timing, and perfect wisdom.

10 Things to Do In Siem Reap

I will always remember Siem Reap, Cambodia for the wonderful tuk tuk ride through its tranquil, tree-lined avenues, where we rode past bikers, old timers, and laughing school children. Here, no building can be built higher than the Angkor Wat.  Cars or tuk tuks have to give way to the occasional monkey crossing the road. 

And you know, any place where temples are more important than buildings, and animals are the kings of the road, is my kind of place.

My friend and I did many wonderful things in and around the temples of Angkor, but several have stood out from the rest, and I highly recommend that you do not miss these.
