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.

The wats are another of Battambang's claims to fame. Most of Cambodia's wats were destroyed by the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s – but apparently the governor of Battambang defied the order to destroy them, preserving some of the only pre-1978 wats in the country. This is some of the décor of Wat Damrey Sac.
