Restoring Angkor

Hi, my name is Suryavarman the 2nd and I work at Angkor Temples. At Angkor we take $40 for your 3 day pass because we really need lots of money to restore these sites to the majestic beauty they were in thousands of years ago. Please consider we need to spend around $25 on corruption so that we can keep the park. So really we only ask for $15 from you for restoration purposes.

When we took over the conservation of the many temples in Angkor, some were nearly falling over. We took some sections apart block by block, labelled them and were planning to put them back together as soon as possible. Many non-profit organisations have been helping us with this project, because, as I said, we always need more money. For some towers it was useful to set up a solid base before re-placing the pieces on top. We also need the money to pay for a lot of gasoline to make electricity. Extension cords are also expensive, see!


Like most puzzles, we didn't know what to do with lots of them.


So we laid them all out on the ground, hoping that would help. We also tried starting with the corner pieces. This helped a lot.


I think we do a good job because people come from far and wide to see our temples. I hope you will come one day too. If you do, you want tuk-tuk ride? I take you all around for good price. Free water.
