Sunsetting on Jayavarman the 7th at Bayon

This was one of the last temples I saw before meeting up with Susanna. This is the Bayon temple complex. The smiling faces on all the structures can be seen from every angle. It was a way to keep an eye on the population, in a karmic grand scale. The faces were created to resemble the face of Jayavarman the 7th who was quite a good king but a little egocentric (as you can see)

Hey Jannah!
You're pics look awesome - you must be having the time of your life. Sweet, sweet, sweet!
Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your travels. It rocks. I work retail. :)
If you want (and can spare the time) check out the kids' blog (http://www.neweerkestwins.blogspot.com/) to see how the kids are growin' up!
Can't wait for more pics and stories...
