This little guy was playing with a bush near the entrance to Banteay Kdei. His mother was having her breakfast not too far away. He was so calm and peaceful and moved slowly, sampling the ground with his hands to satisfy his curiosity.Read about our first impressions at the Temples of Angkor.

A musical group made up of land mine victims plays traditional Cambodian music along the path to Banteay Kdei temple. The music was quite good and it was impressive to see the guy play the dulcimer type instrument without a full hand.Read about our first impressions at the Temples of Angkor.

Anyone who has visited the temples at Angkor recently has seen many girls like this one. She's counting to ten since she sells 10 postcards for $1.Besides being coy and playing the guilt card, these girls are sharp. Dan tested one postcard girl after she finished counting to 10 in English, German, French, Spanish and Italian. When he started counting in Estonian, she continued in Finnish. When he counted in Czech, she finished in Russian. Pretty smart kid.Read more about the kids of Angkor.
The temples of Angkor Wat are full of adorable little girls and little boys selling postcards. We learned from friends who have been coming to the area for six years that they used to beg, but the authorities wouldn't allow it so now they sell postcards. Sometimes these kids are the children of Angkor Wat employees who are working at that temple and sometimes they come from the villages around. They are pretty smart kids, picking up languages really quickly. www.uncorneredmarket.com/2007/02/kids-of-angkor/
