Cultural Nomad in<br />

Cambodia<br />

Text & Photos by John Luke Chica of JohnLukeChica.com<br />

Aside from the sights and the typical tourist-spots, I find<br />

myself wandering the streets of Siem Reap looking at every<br />

store signage, tuk tuk, friendly Cambodian eyes, and cheap<br />

draft Angkor beer. Normally, I would find the easy way out<br />

and just give five oh-so-YouTube-searchable travel tips just<br />

to meet my writing deadline, but let’s not do that now.<br />

Despite your short attention span and probably skimming<br />

your way just to browse photos, let’s hope you’re reading<br />

this article.<br />

Angkor Wat<br />

Exploring Cambodia<br />

Angkor Wat is one of the most iconic structures that<br />

survived the modern era. Its direct English translation is<br />

“Capital Temple”.<br />

One thing I’ve learned in Cambodia is to never get angry<br />

at them. They are the nicest people, probably in Southeast<br />

Asia, next to the smiling country, the Philippines. I am not<br />

so sure if Cambodians are kind in nature or they are just<br />

nicer to tourists. But nevertheless, their kindness and smiles<br />

will always remind me why I want to visit Siem Reap again.<br />
