Forgotten Workshop of Artist Dy Proeung at Roluos Village Cambodia
We visited a small Village called Roluos to see 4 rarely visited 9th Century Angkor era temples. While we were there we stumbled across the workshop of Dy Proeung, a famous Cambodian Artist with an amazing story.
Across from Preah Ko Temple in the Roluos Temple group (not at Angkor Wat Complex) is the forgotten workshop of an amazing Artisan Sculptor who created beautiful replica art of the ancient Angkor Temples and reliefs. It was sad but also seemed somewhat fitting that the replicas of the ruins were also now in ruins.

A Great Hornbill Came to Visit Us today in Siem Reap Cambodia
The coolest thing just happened. We were just sitting in the Living Room of our Apartment in Siem Reap Cambodia when a Great Hornbill came by to hang out on the Tree just off the Balcony. It was amazing….they are huge. We have seen 5 flying around over the last week and I have tried to take pics to no avail but I never even considered that 1 might just stop by to say hi…lol

2010 Great Wall of China Mutianyu Section
Great Wall of China Mutianyu section…is a more out of the way section of the great wall…about 45 miles outside of Beijing and up in the mountains. We went to this section because it is less touristy and busy….but of course that means much more walking and climbing and general exercise. It is not a horrible climb it is just well….. long and full of stairs and more stairs and did I mention stairs and yes we went the entire way.
