Traditional dance

Cris' friend Colin met up with us while we were in Siem Reap. His first nigh in town we got to see some traditional dance. I called around to a few places that have traditional dance and dinner, and I decided to walk by one of the places I called in order to see what we were getting ourselves into (you learn to check things out first before buying anything here - you never know what you are going to get). Well, I was not too happy with what I saw...an open sewer close to where we were going to be eating. There was a back up plan though - the Temple Bar and Restarant had free traditional dance every night, but they also had a DJ and dance club there too. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Honestly, I thought that this place was going to be absolutely ridiculous and filled with crazy people - think frat boys, etc. I was quite surprised when I went into the place, it was pretty nice. We were there in the early evening, so maybe things change after 9pm. We ate dinner and watched some traditional dance, and the dancing was free!



This video is of the coconut dance. The guy on the far right is known to us as "male model." This guy was cracking us up because he was always posing - I wish I would have taken advantage of his posing and taken a picture.
