Lolo's Travels

Cambodia ~ Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) (#6c)

Within Angkor Wat, we stumbled upon this Khmer woman.  She would commence praying at an altar, with incense...and as the prayers escalated, her companion would remove the incense from her hands ~ and she would go into a full on, flailing trance...dancing and trembling until she lost consciousness, falling backwards.  only to begin anew, moments later.  unbelievable.  Accompanied, of course, by appropriately frenzied traditional cambodian musicians...
