Siem Reap, Cambodia: The next temple on the circuit was Bayon, known for its somewhat creepy face carvings that grace all four sides of each temple tower - 216 faces in total. Scholars believe the face is a combination of then-King Jayavarman VII (say that five times fast) and Lokesvara, a Buddhist deity. Of course, it also didn’t help that when we arrived at Bayon, what had been a beautiful day suddenly became overcast - and then it started pouring. Creepy.
