We started our day from the temples in the Roluos Group and Bakong. I donated two dollars to a local elementary school and was quite surprised when the students gave us their best wishes in Mandarin. We then visited the Tonle Sap lake and a floating village built in the mangrove, when we spent most of the time to reach there on tuk-tuk and then on river boat.
In the afternoon, we visited two more temples before heading to Angkor Wat for the The Legend of Angkor Wat show, which told the stories of the Khmer kingdom through traditional dances and English narration. To be frank, it was a bit dull and my classmate pretty much slept through it....
The red brick tower of Lolei was never repaired.
