Battambang, northwestern Cambodia

I climbed to the temple at the top of the mountain where the killing caves are located with a frenchman who I met along the way. The climb was sweaty business, as you can see from the photo, but we met this eccentric business-minded monk there.

Steps down into the larger killing cave. I dared not go too far into the pitch-black caves because of the number of bats flying around. I did not know, until Stephen told me, that bats are commonly rabies-infected.

There was also this man...who it was suggested might be some type of Hindu shaman. His hair had never been cut, and reached the floor - in this photo he has it wrapped around his waist.
