Emerald (really jade) Buddha perched so high in a glass box you can't really see it. This is take from outside the temple. No photography inside.

Thai teenies... These school girls wanted to take a picture of me with them. They were surprised when I said only if I get to have a picture too. They just thought this was hilarious. I don't know why my tongue is sticking out. I must have been licking my lips.

One of the kings liked Ankor Wat so much he had a large model built on the temple grounds.

More stupas - think the stupas were there as shrines for the ashes of royalty and monks.

Altar for Kwan Yin, the goddess of compassion. I thought she was a Chinese goddess, but I guess she is popular here, too.

As I was walking along I saw several folks trying to sell teeth. I wish I knew what the signs say, but I thought it was pretty odd.

They were pretty, but I'm guessing they were mostly for the tourists.

Getting a job in an international school
Since I am not a recruiter or an employer, I cannot interview or offer you a job. Most English language international schools prefer to hire native English speakers. The company that hired me only accepts teachers who have certification in the USA or Canada and/or teaching experience in an American curriculum. Other schools have different policies and may be more interested in staff from other countries. Most international schools require a college degree and at least two years of teaching experience. Some require a lot more. I found out all the information I needed by doing the research on the internet. Keywords I used to search are: international schools, teaching, teach overseas, job fair, Kelly Blackwell, ISS, Search Associates. Best of luck to you!
