Angkor Wat, Cambodia



 According to Chris, we are not supposed to take pictures of the Buddha, but we did anyway.... because we are bad people.
Angkor Wat was constructed in the 1100s; first it was Hindu, dedicated to Vishnu, and then it became Buddhist in the 1200s. The temples were built when the Khmer Empire had authority over Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and part of Thailand.

 Cambodians dressed up in traditional style, when it's mad hot outside (like MAD hot) so that they might may a buck from folks who want to take a picture with them. We took picture of them instead.
