Though not quite as impressive as Banteay Srei, Banteay Samre offers a low-key stop on the return to Siem Reap. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
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/
