Apsara is Cambodian for...

The Temple Bar in Siem Reap offers ordinary food served cold, poor service and a fun and free traditional dance demonstration. We headed straight out here to have dinner and watch the show after arriving in Siem Reap today.

After a hair of the dog, of course. That tarantula wine packs a punch. So do the three gin and tonics two beers and three margaritas (woops). As usual, I blame Dave.

The dancing was loads of fun but not completely professional. One of the male dancers kept whacking one of the female dancers during the dance. After shooting him a number of dirty looks, she finally started retaliating and, by the end of the performance, they were outright attacking each other during the dance. It was, without a doubt, completely hilarious. But obviously amateur.
