Contrary to popular belief, Siem Reap has more to offer than just Angkor Wat. I have talked about temple-hopping in my previous post, so now I want to focus on the other amazing experiences at Siem Reap, Cambodia. This historical city is modernized to house incredible hotels, restaurants, cafés, and boutiques.

Before going to Cambodia, my expectation is that it’s an ancient, historic country, neighboring Thailand and Vietnam. My first impression of Cambodia while I was on the car from the airport to the hotel was, it really feels like a blend of Thailand and Vietnam. Traffic can be chaotic with tuk-tuks, cars, and people crossing the roads at the same time. The local people are friendly and helpful. 

Even though I left Taiwan at a young age, I still associate my hometown as the southern wonderland of Taiwan - Kaohsiung. It feels like home whenever I touch down at the airport. The warm temperature, the sun, the light breeze, and of course, the Southerners that are always passionate and welcoming. 

So yes, it took me a while to get here, but I’m ready to share my favorite spots in Taiwan. I’ve also decided to skip over the touristy spots and only focus on places that the locals love to hang out on the weekends.
