Angkor Wat and surrounding temples in Cambodia, believed to be the largest religious structure in the world, are a must see for whoever travel South East Asia.
Three full days were barely enough to visit the most important and impressive ones and they definitely haven't disappointed in their breathtaking grandeur.

Sulawesi
It's a funny story how I ended up there, but it was worth every effort and money. This remote Indonesian island is hiding impressive underwater treasures, full of untouched coral landscapes and encyclopedic variety of fish. I could explore it up to 30 m deep since I've been brave enough to pass my Advanced Dive Certificate there :)

Malaysia
I crossed Malaysia twice:
- first, the Malaysian part of Borneo on my way to Philippines to have a look over few remaining orangutans in the Kuching sanctuary and to check some remaining jungle in the Gunung Mulu national park, where the most impressive were hundred of thousand bats leaving a big cave every evening for a nigh hunt,
- and second, the Malaysia penisula as a long stop over between Philippines and Sulawesi. And since I haven't planed or expected anything for this part of my trip, it happened that I really enjoyed spending time in the Petronian towers in Kuala Lumpur, chilling out among tea plantations on Cameron Highlands and yes, challenging my biggest fears of dip waters on Perenhian Islands. The first morning upon my arrival to Perenhian Kecil, I stopped at the first Dive school on my way to the beach and left it only six day later with the Open Water Dive Certificate in my pocket. I still can't belive I did it!!!
