Pictures

This first picture is of the group of friends I made at orientation in PA. We called ourselves a cleeque. The story behind this is that one guy, Tyler, (on the front right) thought that it was a Canadian thing to say cleeque for clique. It turned out it was a Tyler thing. In this picture there are people going to Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Kenya.

This picture is from the royal palace. The royal palace is a huge complex. The architecture is very Khmer, but the layout is very French. The French controlled Cambodia for about 90 years, ending in the 1950s.

While in the throne building of the royal palace, we got caught in a monsoon. This is the Cambodia SALT team (Michael, me, Liz, LynAnne). Also, while waiting out the rain, a random Chinese tourist took a picture of us. I'm guessing they were thinking "look white people in Cambodia" or something like that. lol

We also visited the national museum. There were a ton of statues from the Angkor period when Cambodians ruled most of SE Asia. That period dated from 800 AD ish until 1800 AD ish. I think.
