Last night we enjoyed a bit of culture with Apsara dancing at the BBQ restaurant. Apsara is a dance very close to the Thai style with slow intricate hand movements and balancing on one leg. Each dance appears to tell a story, we saw one which involved an axe-wielding homicidal maniac after a pretty girl. Not as gruesome as I am making out really. Beautiful costumes and girls. Early start for day 2 of the Angkor temples, Banteay Srei was fairly quiet at 7:30 and the lighting was perfect to show the intricate and detailled carvings. This has to be my favourite of all I have seen. A small temple but magical and beautiful. It is set amongst lotus flower filled ponds. The temple is very well renovated featuring copies of the original monkey statues (see Paul's photos). Another temple of note was Pre Rup a temple mountain with great views over the surrounding countryside. The distance we travelled (37kms to Banteay Srei) allowed us to take in the scenery from the villages along the way, many homes featuring signs such as "house donated by Jamie and Jane Smith of Wellingborough", water well installed with the help of Helen Weston from Wisconsin, USA. I wonder what Brad and Angelina donated in exchange for their little purchase?!? Angelina was a guest in the Red Piano bar that we frequent, they have named a cocktail after her. I guess a "Brad Pitt" could be rhyming slang for something less savoury...
