Sorry about absence everyone, have been doing a lot of reading over the past few days. Went to an Apsara dance last night. This is the traditional Cambodian dance. It can take four years to train as dancer. The Apsara is a female spirit of water, or cloud, in Buddhist and Hindu mythology. They have often been compared to the muses, and sirens in Greek mythology. They are court servants of Indra, (the God of war and weather), and husbands of male nature spirits. They dance, in the palaces of the gods to music played by their husbands.

Thank you, Wikipedia...

Ps. Postcards are on their way!
