After the last day of the workshop, the whole group went over to another historic site, Baekong Hill---these temple remains were on a high hill from which we could see the beautiful towers of Angkor Wat. After walking around the ruins, we went to a traditional Cambodian dinner theater, Apsara Theater, where after dinner we had an amazing dance performance of one part of the Boddishatva---the story of Buddha. The dancers made certain signs with their fingers that signified different stages in the life of a flower---the dances were accompanied by a live music performance on traditional Cambodian musical instruments. I really enjoyed the beautiful performance even though we did laugh a bit during it trying to “decipher” what the performance was about.
