In Latin Jehovah begins with an "I"!

Last weekend we went on an excursion to Siem Reap, which is where a ton of really old temples are. If you want to know about the actual historical stuff, you can look it up on Wikipedia because I didn’t really pay attention to the tour guide. I pretty much took any opportunity I could to sneak away from the group to explore and climb the ruins, obviously remembering to step on the 'I' and not the 'J' and being constantly on the lookout for poison darts, tombs filled with snakes and secret passageways that lead to underground civilizations of people who can take your heart right out of your chest…there were a few close calls, but we made it out alive.
So yeah, it was a lot of fun. We also saw a temple that was used in the movie Tomb Raider. It’s actually called the Tomb Raider temple and you can hear all of the tour guides speaking their different languages throw in an “Angelina Jolie” every few minutes. She’s kind of a big deal there because the movie brought a lot of tourism to the area and I think she might donate money to them. And honestly, I don’t blame her for taking a kid home with her when she left. There are so many adorable kids on the streets selling bracelets and postcards, but they’re pretty much child slaves because they don’t actually get the money from selling those things. People just use them as bait to lure in tourists. It’s kind of tragic. Welcome to the “developing world” (the term “third world” is no longer used in international relations, in case you were wondering).

Thanks to Mike for inspiring the title for this post and taking this picture.
