Apsara Dinner
Aug. 8th, 2010After a long day of looking at Angkor Thom, our Tuk Tuk driver suggested that we need to goto a Aspara performance to experience the real Cambodia. We figured why not and went. It was an absolutely lovely evening. Apsara is heavily influenced by the depiction of dancing apsaras at the Angkor Wat temple complex. It was really cool to be able to see the old cravings in the temples translate into modern dance. During the performance it rained so heavily that they had to stop it because the dancers could not hear the music. It was surreal.
