When we were in Cambodia for 4 days we went to a lot of temples maybe like 4 or so. The one I am going to tell you about is Angkor Thom and the temple Bayon.
Angkor Thom was one of the largest of all the Khmer cities. It's name, wich dates from at least the 12th century, means 'great city.' Bayon lies in the exact center of Angkor Thom, the city founded by the last great Khmer King. Bayon is a Buddhist temple and it is like a forest of stone face towers.
I thought we packed a lot of stuff into our 4 days but the Bayon temple really was cool because of the faces and also there was a lot of like little rooms in the temple where a buddha was but they took all of them out except one so they could only have one that you could look at in the temple. I think they put the other buddhas in musuems or they all got stolen.
