Love is in the air - Cambodia

Such a lovely sight to see these Common Mormons mating! The blue is the male, and the ... yeah, you got it right!

Beside the lovely Banteay Srey Butterfly Center where they have a project saving endangered butterfly species (extra),

I also visit the landmine museum (extras). Aki Ra was stolen from his family when he was 5 years, a child soldier when he was 10, and began laying landmines when he was 11.  In his 20s he was tired of war and death, managed to get home, and started collecting landmines and defused them.  One became to 50.000 and some of them are shown in the museum, He also took care of orphans or kids hurt by landmines.  An amazing man, indeed. 

Beside the incredible amount of landmines, there are still huge amount of UXO after U.S. dropped a total of 540.000 tons of cluster bomb over Cambodia during the Vietnam war. Just half of the them are removed. 
My tuk-tuk driver Pert has several family members that has lost limbs.
