    Losing Our Way Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day I can hear her breathing. --------------------------------------------------------- Arundhati Roy (Indian author, advocate, activist)

    CAMBODIA: Siem Reap; Phnom Penh; Battambang; Kratie.

    ...and an amazing array of Buddha statues – here, at one of the ceremonial pavilions. We weren't allowed to photograph them, but the ultimate in gorgeous Buddha statues were housed in the Silver Pagoda – including an Emerald Buddha made of Baccarat crystal and a life-sized golden Buddha decorated with 9584 diamonds! These are some of the only Buddhist artifacts that survived the Khmer Rouge attempt to rid the nation of its religious heritage.
