Went to our local provincial museum — Royal Alberta Museum mostly to see exhibit on the Angkor Empire of Cambodia. Good collection of seriously old artifacts. Show is there until July 28. #Khmer #Cambodia #Buddhism #Hinduism

Some business before I commence a regular schedule:

All images were created by me using images from Unsplash, or Creative Commons selections from Wikimedia.

The #Khmer script in the images is in the Khmer Ratanakiri font, available here: https://www.khmerfonts.info/fontinfo.php?font=41

The font is very similar to those used on shop signs etc in #Cambodia which can be rather different to the standard written script. To be able to read fluently, it's important to know both.

Hopefully this is useful to someone. Enjoy!

Lovely article. The story of the refugee who turned Kingston, home of Queen’s University, into an unexpected hub of Cambodian cooking.

Running restaurants is a common path for refugees and immigrants. Like football coaching trees, one success will point the way for others in the community. One of my cousins' in-laws opened a sushi joint that became the template for many of Montreal's Japanese restaurants.

While not really a candidate for #ThickTrunkTuesday , this is the impressive Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia, made popular to global tourists by Angelina Jolie's #tombraider movie. The roots of the fig tree engulfing the temple is a proof of nature's ultimate strength and resilience.
