9 Reasons Why You Should Visit the Bookstore in Korea

I love places with history, and the longer or deeper the history, the more unusual and inspiring the place. And Cambodia is exactly that kind of country where every corner holds centuries of history. Before my trip to Cambodia, all I knew about the country was Angkor Wat which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. How deeply mistaken I was.  But let's start from the beginning. My trip to Camb
