Students working at the stone sculpture school that we visited today		Our first Cambodian lunch - a variety of stir fried vegetables and meats, a baked fish and some fish soup. This is a place where the locals in Siem Reap eat, and our total bill (including 2 lunches for our guide and driver) came to a total of $8.00!	Sculptures of demons lining the entry to one of the gates of Angkor Thum	A close-up of one of the demons. Most of these have been extensively damaged by war.
The entry gate into Angkor Thum (which means "large capital"). Note the Buddha faces carved into the towers - these appear in all the towers inside Angkor Thum.		A side view of one of the entry towers. This gives a good perspective of the Buddha face.	A pick-up truck full of monks on their way into Angkor Thum.	The Bayon Temple inside Angkor Thum
Another view of the Bayon Temple	One of the many bas-reliefs that we saw today. These all depict various elements of Khmer life in the 12th Century, and have been important sources of information for researchers.
