Bakong Monastery

Size: 25 items | Post to del.icio.us

Just outside the walls to the ancient temple of Bakong in the Roluos Group stands the Bakong monastery. This practicing temple is home to an incredibly friendly group of people who invited me inside for a look around.

When I mentioned to one of them that I had been an English teacher in Japan, I was immediately ushered into their classroom where an English lesson was finishing. I soon found myself in front of the blackboard answering questions, practicing pronunciation, and getting to know the resident novice monks.
