- Ta Prohm, Siem Reap, Cambodia
(Our "Tomb Raider" tour started right in the heart of the eerie scenes in the movie, the temples of Ta Prohm. You can almost feel what it must have been like to be here in this grand temple, which was also a university, back in the 1186AD. The silkcotton and strangler-fig trees are still here, from when we were here 7 years ago - strangling the temple walls, with some requiring extra steel and wooden supports now. One gets the sense that these temple walls won't last forever and will likely topple at some point. The famous Buddha face in the tree roots continues to smile though..)
