Entering The Sanctuary

Preah Palilay, Cambodia

As we entered the compound of the Buddhist sanctuary, we were approached by several children selling souvenirs. They followed us and kept on asking us to buy something from them. Typically they would try to get you to buy their goods, when you say you will come back later, they usually oblige and let you go but they will always ask `What's your name?.....Come and buy from me later and I will remember you!' Cute kids. I decided to take a shot of `me' teddy bear with the kids. I suppose they were extremely thrilled not only to see a teddy bear (probably never owned one! I won't be surprise) what more thinking that I gave Teddy to them. After the shot I took Teddy with me.......yes I know what you are thinking.....but I have no choice, it's a special bear. It travelled with me in Angkor.
