Recommended:

For those interested in how Cambodian arts and crafts are made, we highly recommend a visit to the NGO Artsians D’angkor in Siem Reap. It is a skill training centre for people from rural areas to teach them silk weaving, lacquering, stone carving and wooden carving. Tours of the workshops are provided in various languages, and you can see the artisans at work. They also have an excellent gift shop where you can purchase the crafts you saw being made. The entrance to Artsians D’angkor is located on Stung Thmey St, off of Sivatha Blvd. Website: www.artisansdangkor.com

Accommodation

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

Examples

Now that we know who you are, I know who I am. I'm not a mistake! It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me! I should've known way back when... You know why, David? Because of the kids. They called me Mr Glass.
