Angkor Thom 吳哥窟

I'm just now starting to download pictures from Cambodia and Vietnam onto my computer. Freaking a lot of work you know...... I brought with me 4 of the 128MB memory cards and was able to take 152 pics on each one.... I used all of the 4 cards... so that's about 608 pics I have to go through and rename. I just finished the first card.... it was annoying.... forgott one of the place names and still dont know what it is because there's just so many different small temples and ancient buildings.

So here's some pictures of Bayon inside Angkor Thom, just outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia.... beautiful isn't it? :) I'm only posting 3 now... will post a few more in a few days. These pictures are a teaser.... saving the best till next time.
我们在高棉第一个看的是在这些照片里。 这地方叫吳哥窟。 我不解释所以就让你们看一看照片。 对不起！

我在过几天还会多放些照片。 请大家视目以待。 我可能不会写很多中文， 要我解释太难！ 很多地方我都不知道中文叫什么。

Joey and I had just entered Angkor Thom through the southern gates and the first place is called Bayon. This ranks 2nd place after Angkor Wat as the most popular of Angkor's many temples.

Bayon has a collection of 54 gothic towers decorated with 216 coldly smiling, gargantuan faces of Avalokiteshvara. Some scholars suggest they may contain a representation of Jayavarman VII, the Mahayana (one of the 2 branches of Buddhism) Buddhist king continuing the devaraja cult of his Hindu predecessors.

As you walk around, a dozen or more of the visages are visible at any one time - full-face or in profile, almost level with your eyes or peering down from on high.
