Daydreaming of Cambodia

Currently Reading

“Bong, som kut loy.”  So now I can ask for the bill in Khmer.  I can also order an iced coffee with milk.  ”Cafe tuk d’koh tkaw.” 

I was at T & C cafe with V discussing the plot of The King’s Last Song.  It’s an amazing story that takes place during the present and also flashes back to King Jayavarman VII’s time.  V already knew about the history of Jayavarman’s accomplishments so it was great to hear his view.  I don’t want the story to end but at this rate, I’m going to finish tomorrow.  Actually I’m skimming through the present stuff since going back in time is so much more interesting.  Why are the steps at Angkor Wat so dang steep?  The book gives a theory as to why.
