Sala Bai Restaurant Training School in Siem Reap. We had a good lunch and tour at this school, which trains young people from underprivileged families (income below the Cambodian poverty line is REALLY low) to work in the hospitality industry. Some were learning to be chefs and waitstaff, some maids and laundry workers, others hotel clerks and managers.

Elephant and mahout at Angkor Thom. If you wished (our group didn't) you could ride an elephant (dyed black) into the ruins.
The Angkor civilization in Cambodia, centered near the city of Siem Reap, is so full of fascinating ruins that it's easy to forget about the people who make it possible for us tourists to enjoy the wonderful sights.
