DG&LOTS,
Monkeys, Park, Kuala Lumpur
Greetinges from the Orients. Having lost several couriers in mysterious circumstances, reportages of our recent journeys have been scarce. We hope to rectify the situation by messenger redundancy.
Topical DVDs, floating village, Tonle Sap
In our most recent excursion, we targetet the fabled ruins of Angkor, a past haunt of combat archaeologists and fiends of intelligentsia.
Departing KUL
Approaching Siemreab
Our most efficient and optimized rapid strike survey commenced through Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - an interesting mix of cultures, and a veritable cradle of civilization and sophistication after certain back-country cities, worthy of more exploration which we would achieve on our way back).

Having landed in Siemreab (a small city in a poor country, relatively thriving on the influx of said combat archaelogists and intrepid explorers), we lost not a single second in our deployment. Item 1: GT. Item 2: explore, explore like the wind! The documentation far exceeds the meager capacity of our courier; DG&LOTS are encouraged to enquire, are they so inclined, for more.
Floating village. The canal lights seemed like they would be worth seeing at night.
The photogenic ruins - quite varying in style - remind one of the Middle American temples in scope, implementation, and state of preservation. The stalwart reconnoiters of the ongoing restoration projects have most fascinating three-dimensional puzzles on their hands.
A visit to the floating village on Tonle Sap provides some contrast to marauding one temple after another. However, Kbal Spean is worthy of particular mention; it takes the breath away from even the most hardened explorer.
Down it goes. Safety equipment required.
Fire-proof B52.
Let it not be said that the traditions of the S are not withheld in the far reaches! One unfortunate oversight in far Japan must not be let sap the moral. Let it burn!
(The Malaysian B52 did not want to; mayhap it was the somewhat antipathetic attitude prevalent in the country that required extensive corrective rituals and spells to counter. Efforts paid; flames ensued.)
(Exchequers note: Siemreab, ~4€, large comparative investment, fancy restaurant; Kuala Lumpur, ~6€, huge comparative investment, major hotel.)
