What Wat!!

Cambodia is a primarily Buddhist country (95% to be specific!), which of course means monks are everywhere traveling the streets in their right orange robes receiving donations and giving blessings.  It also means there are a lot of wats (temples) around.  There's a temple on literally every block in Phnom Penh.  Some are small and kind of run down, others are spacious and elaborate.  All have intricate designs, lots of shrines and graves, lots of gold paint, and lots of monks!  There's a wat about five minutes from where we live.  Ohm, chief host mom, visits it almost daily so we ventured out there the other morning and it was pretty nice.  Here's some pictures of it...

It's basically half dragon-half wolf

Someday I will have stairs in my home that are this ornate

This is the wat itself, next to one of the graves 

Literally no idea what it is, it just looked like a cool kind of throne
