The strange statues of Koh Kong (PHOTOS)
In the town of Koh Kong, near the border with Thailand, there’s a Buddhist spiritual retreat with a bizarre collection of sculptures by its riverfront.
In the photos below you’ll see sadistic-looking sculptures dressed in KR uniform killing people with the heads of animals. You’ll see a man being sawed in half while being pecked by a garuda, a bird of Buddhist mythology.
See full article for photo gallery.

In PNG, people stare and stare hard
One of the hardest parts of traveling to the Papua New Guinea highlands is knowing what to do when surrounded by forty people who behold you in utter rapture.
Stroll into any market in the Mt. Hagen region and you’ll soon have a captive audience that sees a white person every two or so years.
