Siem Reap#9 Pink Lady Temple & Landmine Museum

Banteay Srei Temple aka Pink Lady Temple***, it is called the lady temple because of its meticulous and beautiful carving as if built by the cambodian ladies. We can say the sun is the hottest today during our stay here. Really 'beh tahan'..

On our way back, we drop by the Landmine Museum***. Founded by Aki Ra, it is a collection of decommissioned mines, bombs and other explosives. It is also a home for education and support for many children affected by the landmine. In fact our journey to Siem Reap is an eye opener because there were so many Cambodians sacrificed during the war. Many have lost their hands or legs, but still they have a strong heart to live on, playing music to earn $$ for living.

At night, we had Khmer buffet$ with special performance of Khmer classical dance 'Apsara Dance'*** which was recommended by our tuk tuk driver. The Apsara performance is one of the 'must see' (since u have nothing much to do at night :P) in Siem Reap besides Angkor temples. The buffet and show costs about USD12.

The food is not bad with western and khmer in the menu. Only the desserts were not too appetizing. The show is great too, many pretty cambodian girl and some funny act scenes.

Peter feels so happy because he can have a photo with the most beautiful girl on stage. Hehe.
