Roluos is a small Cambodian village located about 20 minutes away from Siem Reap via National Highway  6. After hours of researching, I've made up my mind that Roluos was worth a visit. Thankfully, it was.

There are probably other means of getting there, but this time around I've decided to hire a private driver and guide instead to save time (I only had two days left in Cambodia so I did not want to waste another second on sluggish public transport). I also figured that having a guide is necessary since people living outside of the town cannot speak English.

The journey was pleasant and quick. Shortly after a very deep and engaging conversation with the guide about the politics and the poverty of the country, we have arrived at our destination. We paid a short visit to Wat Bakong, one of the more famous temples in the region, before moving on to the village.

Being here made me feel like a curious 10-year old again. Everything was new and foreign to me, and I had so many questions to ask.

Children are everywhere. Playing, walking home from school in their slightly soiled white uniforms, helping their parents out with chores, or just silently lurking in the corners. They all have beautiful brown tanned skin, which matches their big inquisitive eyes and sweet smiles perfectly.

It is hardly possible to walk past the children here without stopping to appreciate their beauty.
