Cambodia

Today we drove about an hour outside of Siem Reap to visit Beng Melea Temple. Our guide took us on a shortcut that brought us close to the village where he grew up and we got to see lots of incredible rural homes, which have thatched roofs and are raised on stilts to avoid flooding and poisonous animals and insects. We also got to see some brightly colored wedding and funeral celebrations, which are indistinguishable unless you can read the sign to tell which is which :)

Siem Reap

We're here in Cambodia! We got in around 5 and went to a dinner that included traditional dance performance. Boy, the people here sure are gorgeous. Even the airport was pretty.
