Kampong Thom

Yesterday I traveled with a group from CLA to Kampong Thom province to visit a UNESCO/CLA collaboration dance class. We stopped at a temple called Sambor Prei Kuk, which predates Angkor Wat by 500 years. It dates back to the 7th century and was the site of the ancient Chenla Kingdom.



These little girls were selling krama--I couldn't resist them and bought two.

The school where the class was held was amazing. It was built by the princess of Thailand and has an incredibly beautiful campus.







On the way back we stopped for food in the middle of nowhere and Arn ordered me some soup. I looked down at it and discovered a chicken foot in the bowl and I couldn't stand to eat it. I didn't want to be rude but I went to the nearest fruit stand and bought a banana instead.
