Apsara Theatre

Moved hotels this morning yet again (seems to be an almost daily occurrence for us). Sorted out everything we need to fly to Vietnam (Hanoi) on the 10th (tickets, photos, visas). Visited Cambodian National Museum, which aside from the short movies shown every now and again made me feel generally bored and sleepy (as museums do). It would probably be better to have visited it before visiting Angkor Wat as then we’d know what special sections and pieces of interest to look out for.

Caught one of the scooters back into town both me and Will on the back, thus “tripling” on a bike. It is a far cry from a whole family of 6 on one scooter we saw as we were driving into Cambodia but still an interesting experience, and much better than a Tuk Tuk hands down.

At the end of the day we saw the traditional Apsara dances in Apsara Theatre, since the first Apsara Dances in the pub/cafe a few days ago were unsatisfactory and the dancers seems to be falling asleep. Tonight the performance was good accompanied by a great meal. The whole performance was more of a play then a dance with lots of different characters and a plot in every “dance”. Great costumes and great traditional music, overall a memorable experience.
