Hello naga

There are not many dragons here in Cambodia but most Buddhist temples have nagas guarding them. This one guards the front steps of Wat Xam where I teach English. Do you think it looks fierce?

Most people in Cambodia speak a language called Khmer. I don't know if the nagas also speak Khmer. I couldn't get this one to talk to me in any language. I tried to teach it some English. It just stared at me. I said, 'Soo sa day.' (That's 'hello' in Khmer.) And it still said nothing.

If you come to visit me, maybe you can get it to talk to you.

love from your Granddad in Cambodia
