Day 10

Today, we were able to have a little bit of a sleep in. We only had to be at University at 9 am for a traditional Khmer dance lesson. The dance lesson was very interesting. Khmer dancing looks uncomplicated, but it actually is very difficult. The dance teacher tried to teach us the moves but when we tried, it looked a lot less elegant than his demonstrations. When we got home in the evening, we asked our homestay sister about the Khmer dancing and she told us that she used to dance when she was in high school. It looks really creepy how far she can bent back her hands O.O

After the dance class, we went to the National Museum of Cambodia. Inside, we learned about the old history of Cambodia. They had a lot of sculptures from temples on display. Sadly, we were not allowed to take pictures inside the museum. But I was able to take some outside the museum and in the garden of the museum.
