Last shots before leaving Cambodia

2008.09.21
This is the entrance gate to Ta Phrom.

It's the one where Angelina Jolie shot her movie, Lara Croft, The Tomb Raider.

It's also where the an emotional story of two cubs separated when they were young happened, Two Brothers.

Once you get inside the gate, you will meet these people---people who are victims of the gruesome land mine in Cambodia. They play you traditional music and it's up to you if you buy their CD for $10 or give a little cash.


Angelina Jolie was here and so was Alain. ;)

Trees in these temples are weird.





Apsara, a Cambodian traditional dance.




I went to the Salt Lounge, a gay bar, in Phnom Penh and I was fortunate to see their weekly Drag Show. It was not really fantabulous but it's a good start for Cambodian gays to be heard, seen and accepted.

My Tuk Tuk driver. This transport is common in Thailand and Cambodia.

The night market at Phnom Penh.





Children OF the River.









See you in Saigon, Vietnam soon.

dadlak thanks for this post...needed a little boost after that tour of the killing fields. I like the way you used the four-panels to cover the dance and drag show.
