This blog post is going to be like a essay.
The temples that the Khmer people built were built in the 900 AD- 1600 AD. Some of them were called Angkor and some of them were just temples. Angkor meant Holy City. Angkor Wat is the Vatican of temples. It is the biggest temple in the world. I even did some research on that. It was very hot. You were sweating gravy because you ran out of water to sweat.
Bayon Temple was restored in a weird way. The French people took it apart and put it back together with numbers like: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,
36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,
67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,
98,99,100 and so on (I said that for you, Mr.Rana). The war against Khmer Rouge and the government happened in the middle of them taking it down so they couldn’t put the rocks back up. The people were forced to make rice. We had to put it all back together. We means the French people.
I went on a scary boat ride and I saw begging children, an orphanage and the Tongle Sap lake.
The begging children had snakes around their necks and the mothers were annoying little jackasses. When you said no, all they heard was keep on going till’ they punch you. After a little while, when they stuck their dirty hand near my face I pretended they weren’t there.
I only have 3-4 days left! I can’t believe it, it has flown by.
The essay part is how I stated only some of the numbers.
I didn’t say it would be a good essay.
Here are some pictures:
Did you see some of the temples that had become overgrown by the vines and trees in the forest? I guess you will be glad to be back in Markham in a culture that is comfortable to you.
I did see the temple that have the trees growing on them. It was half under construction though.
I will be glad to come back TONIGHT!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see my family and friends.
Love you,
MEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Meg…you nutcase..did you know that I had to read through all those numbers! 🙂 I really like the pictures of the temples though and am happy that no one has taken away your “fighting spirit” (don’t mess with Meg!). Cant wait for you to get back!

Let this be a lesson,
DON’T MESS WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
