Features: From one stop to another, arriving in Cambodia, deep into the jungle, into the temples without people, onto these stone steps carved with war and peace, gods and living beings. A marvels, B stares in astonishment, C takes photos, D naps here—this is Cambodia. Travel is joy, solitude, our backpacks. The rest, the extra, are only the colors and faces in the photos, the scenery and experiences that language can describe. The vivid faces of the children are intertwined with the profound ruins. Behind the shrines, at the ends of the corridors, there are always their figures. They are the spirits of the temples. It's hard to imagine that the world's greatst "Hindu architecture" is outside India. Regarding war, they choose not to mention it, just as Russians avoid political systems, but they also choose not to forget it. Only the landmines make the already remote places even more remote.
