Angkor Wat
November 30 2006

Today we saw the prized jewel of Cambodia - Angkor Wat.  Imagine an ancient 1,000,000 ton stone city and that's it!  I took a couple of brief videos on my digital camera.  You can check them out here:

Our first stop

The next temple

Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built for king Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and capital city. The largest and best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre—first Hindu, then Buddhist—since its foundation. The temple is the epitome of the high classical style of Khmer architecture.

North Korean Dinner

We went to a place that had North Korean waitresses who performed during dinner.  Yes...the country that USA isn't too fond of and who aren't too fond of us.  I walked like a Canadian so the North Korean girls wouldn't stab me in the neck with chopsticks.  They're all secret ninjas you know.

Downtown

We rode around downtown and saw "The Red Piano."  This is another spot where Tomb Raider was shot.

What I learned today about Korea:  1)  How to walk like a Canadian.
