Seriously. I know you weren't totally lovin' your wardrobe, but you do look good esp. because you look appropriate. Crass is not cool.</p> <p>Anyways, can you imagine living everyday with a landscape like that? Wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807774 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:40:21 +0000 Gaylene 807774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for posting your vacation pictures, MaryK. They are such a joy to look over on a grey winter's day. I also totally agree with you that long pants and a long/three-quarter-sleeved top are an unbeatable travel combo. </p> <p>I'm looking forward to your next installment--Phnom Penh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807690 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:52:59 +0000 Suz 807690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE these pictures, Mary. And you look terrific for someone travelling in the heat! You are far too hard on yourself, woman! I particularly like the black and white and agree that modesty is the important factor here. What a treat to go on this vacation with you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807687 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:48:00 +0000 Angie 807687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>and I fixed my typos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807684 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:47:00 +0000 Angie 807684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're off to Portland in just a bit, but I had to chime in quickly Mary to say how much I loved traveling with you on your adventure. Thanks so much for sharing! The pics are amazing and so are you, and Mr.K. Got to love #8 and #17 best xox </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807662 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:08:08 +0000 Anonymous 807662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic travelogue MaryK! I loved reading your post and seeing the wonderful pictures. Your outfit with the long black pants is incredibly chic looking and I love the palm frond hat. I'm glad you packed well and had plenty of stylish and appropriate things to wear. Hmmmm, I could use some of that magic balm for my husband.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807647 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:51:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 807647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These pictures are a feast for the eyes MaryK - you have no idea how much I'm enjoying going along on your trip through your pics! So many beautiful things to look at and experience.</p> <p>I think you look fantastic, especially in your linen trousers look and it seems that your thought into your packing worked really well for you, especially in terms of the "modesty factor", which I think people really need to consider when traveling to a foreign country.</p> <p>I'm pretty sure Angie will forgive the flip-flops - sometimes you just have to put comfort above everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807638 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:39:59 +0000 Sara L. 807638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting!

In the extreme heat and humidity, managing to look put together, stylish, and appropriate without looking like you are melting is quite a feat, well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807612 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:57:22 +0000 Tricia 807612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Mary!

Thank you so much for posting them so we can share your journey. I love the bright colours of the clothing set against the stark greys of the temple. You look wonderful in 8/9. Black and white is a great combo for travel isn't it - always fresh and crisp no matter what the weather brings. ( and it hides the dirt too !) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807531 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 08:32:54 +0000 Kirti 807531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing these fabulous pictures!

Looks like an amazing trip! You must have been sweltering in long pants and sleeves and scarf though, even though they were necessary for the temples! That pic in #13 is my fave! And you and hubby are so cute! I like your gingham shirt and matching flip flops--adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807509 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 07:17:44 +0000 fern 807509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your trip looks phenomenal - I love that you are sharing it with us. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807484 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 05:19:07 +0000 deb 807484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful pictures.

I hear you on the shoes, they can make or break the whole look. For the record, I like the matching flip flops! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807428 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:58:07 +0000 Sveta 807428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing trip - can't wait for the next installment!<br /> It is really hard to look stylish when it is hot and you have to wear VERY sensible and walk-friendly shoes so I think you did a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-on-vacation-part-ii-siem-reap-and-angkor-wat#post-807416 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 03:50:24 +0000 MsMary 807416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After our amazing interlude at Halong Bay, we went back to the Hanoi airport by bus and flew 1.5 hours to Siem Reap, Cambodia, the gateway to the ancient Cambodian temples including the most famous, Angkor Wat.</p> <p>1. Our hotel the first morning. We had to cross a bridge over this enormous lily pond to get to our room!</p> <p>2. First day at the temples. I had planned to wear this black skirt a lot, but I felt incredibly frumpy wearing it with my athletic Keen sandals. The sandals were fabulously practical and comfortable, so the skirt stayed in my suitcase for the rest of the trip. I'm wearing a gold pendant but with my temple pass and blue earphone apparatus (which was great -- let me hear the guide without having to stick too close) it really got lost in the shuffle. I chalked this outfit up as a fail.</p> <p>3/4. The temple, Angkor Thom, as it looks in a carefully framed photo (taken by Mr. K), and as you really experience it, with a gazillion people everywhere. Honestly, all of the temple areas were like Disneyland on a summer day! Wall to wall people! Mr. K and I decided we were not going to let it interfere with our incredible joy and wonder at being there. It's an amazing place and we were happy to share our experience with a gigantic international crowd!</p> <p>5. If Angkor Thom is Disneyland, these lovely ladies must be the Disney princesses! One dollar for a photo op was a bargain! (Although Cambodia has its own currency, the U.S. dollar is more popular. Even the ATMs in Cambodia dispense U.S. currency -- up to $50 bills!)</p> <p>6. On the way back to the hotel we were fortunate to stop off at an English-language school supported by our tour company. The children were adorable and very excited to practice their English on us! "Hello! What your name? Where you come from? It is very nice to meet you!"</p> <p>7. Back to our hotel for dinner and a fantastic Cambodian dance performance. The costumes reminded us of Thai costumes, which is not surprising since Thailand is right next door.</p> <p>8/9. Having acquired a palm-frond hat the previous day (for a dollar!) I felt a little better dressed the second day at the temples! Black linen pants, white cotton longsleeved tee, black and white dotted scarf, same sandals. (The black lines you see on my top are the straps of my backpack, which was super lightweight and turned out to be a real workhorse!) </p> <p>I was happy I had gone with a modest wardrobe of long pants and long sleeves. See the lady in the tank top and skirt in photo 9? She was refused entry into the inner/top portion of Angkor Wat because her shoulders weren't covered. She was all in a huff because they told her a scarf wouldn't do it. Honestly, although she was very nice and would have looked fine in, say, Hawaii, I felt like she showed too much skin for the context, pretty much everywhere we went.</p> <p>10/11/12. Angkor Wat, from the outside, from the inside (check out the Buddhist monk - they were everywhere!), and the amazing view from the top!</p> <p>13. More lovely ladies in Cambodian dress, another "one dolla" photo op!</p> <p>14. The view on the way out.</p> <p>15. It was super hot even at night, so for an evening exploring the town I changed into denim clams and my trusty gingham shirt from Target. I'm sure Angie will be horrified by the matching flip-flops, but the were comfy and I felt like they were reasonably appropriate. Note to self, though: Next time bring some nicer leather sandals that are walking-friendly and look nicer with skirts.</p> <p>16/17. We had a blast in the local marketplace. I loved the sign for the magical balm that seems to cure everything -- "even flatulence!" LOL We ended the evening at a great little bar where they were playing fantastic American music and had free wi-fi so we could check in on Facebook! What could be better?</p> <p>Next up: Phnom Penh! </p>
