Back in 2011 when I worked in Singapore at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, I visited Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples in Cambodia. On the outskirts, overgrown by the jungle, is Ta Prohm, made famous by that Tomb Raider movie.
I thought I might as well share my photos. I generally try to minimize travel these days, and I try not to glamorize travel either. But it also seems a bit silly to sit on these photos forever and die with them on my laptop. So here they are. Not great quality, but a great place.
