Ankor THom Post 12 Century
Prepared to be blown away. I like this place actually better than Ankor Wat that I didn’t really visit since i had spent so much time there five years ago…angko thom is amazing, the energy there is palpable, the south gate as you pass through and the area around the temple itself…you can only imagine the thriving community that was there…a community that was extremely talented, the artistic doings of the temple are truly a wonder to witness…enjoy
oh, and i have been working should anyone wonder! i’ve been sooooo busy, just put in a ten hour day and am starting to feel the pressure of having so much i can do in such a short amount of time…i’ve been really blessed to have had this assignment as my practicum…i only wish i had another 10 weeks, and could help with the next pre-service training…
this has really reaffirmed by belief in peace corps being a wonderful organization…of course it is not perfect, i get sooo tired in dc meeting people who play the political game of moving up…a thing that will probably keep me from ever really being a “somebody” but in terms of program and training, working with the volunteers and really enjoying my time with the staff and being able to use their input, going to them for their ideas and being open to changing my ideas through them…that fits me really well. there are some program training officers opening up and i will apply though i promised my boss i’d stay through the fall term…but at least i now know I can do a job like this, and do it well. we got the reviews back from preservice training 2 and the volunteers were great witht their feedback on my sessions…which made me feel very, very good. anyway, enjoy the pics and seriously, if history and temples and just spiritual places are soemthing you are into…come to cambodia…support this struggeling poor country and see for yourself not only through amazing, amazing history, but also meet a wonderful people who open their homes and hearts if you give them a slimmer of a chance.
