Update 13

 One last place to go before leaving Siem Reap: the Phare Circus. It was an amazing performance with a remarkable purpose. The performers were once poor, troubled youth who are now getting a well rounded education that is heavy on the arts. Started by 9 refugee camp survivors after the Khmer Rouge regime that had basically eliminated the arts. Through music, drama & circus art, they tell their uniquely Cambodian stories and in doing so, it becomes therapeutic & healing. Awesome show and meeting so many needs. And I even got popcorn!
