The rest of the Grand Tour temples - East Mebon with its elephants and pointy-butt guard lions, Ta Som with its big-rooted-tree-trunks, Neak Pean which is basically a dried out man-made lake to honor sacred elephants, and Preah Khan, which I remember to be a bit creepy.
It was almost dusk when we were at Preah Khan, and out of the blue a policeman became our impromptu tour guide. Well, without him we wouldn't know that there used to be a grand dance hall for Cambodian/Khmer royalty, that Shiva's linga was the largest, and that the walls were studded with gems back then. Ang gara diba? Pero nung nabigyan na namin sya ng tip, pag lingon namin, bigla na lang nawala! Nuninuninoo......
...up next: the famous Angkor Wat plus sunrise and sunset photos....
