This is the tree from the infamous scene in Lara Croft Tomb Raider. After Angelina Jolie spent time here to film the movie, she feel in love with the country so much that she ended up adopting kids from here. Later on, her and one of her children ended up directing the largest film to come out of Cambodia, ‘The Man Who Killed my Father’.

I've always wanted to go there after seeing that film. One day I'll make it, hopefully. The whole concept of Angkor is just mind-blowing to me.
If you are really interested in Angkor, then I recommend going to Siem Reap for at least 3 days and getting a three day pass. Consider it something to plan towards :)
I was considering more of a week, to be honest. I can't imagine I'm going to want to move too much in that humidity before I have to retreat to somewhere with a fan and a cold beer.
