Angkor Thom, the capital city built after the Cham sack of 1177, is surrounded by a 300-foot wide moat. |
The moat was drained of water with only moss growing at the bottom and the outside walls crawling with thorny vines. |
The magnificent Junagarh Fort, the main attraction of the place has a 986-meter long wall with 37 bastions, a moat and two entrances. |
The sun was shining, the sakura were blooming, and about 20,000 people lay down in the grass around the castle moat and drank themselves silly. |
Today was the first time I walked around its tranquil little garden and surveyed its moat. |
I mean, with all this jingly jangly jewel stuff in our pockets, we'd make a lot of noise, even swimming in the moat. |
