Splash of Color Pilot TV Diary - Day Eleven

DAY ELEVEN: Feb 10: With invaluable help from our erudite and multi-lingual  Cambodian guide Mr.That Seng we visited a local monastry for Buddhist monks on what seemed for sure to be a Mission Impossible. Our mission was to try and persuade a couple of the monastry’s monks to come with us all the way out to the already chosen Ta Som location and pose in front of the Jayavarman  face sculpture for Robert’s painting.

With Mr. That acting as interpreter we talked to the monks inside one of the monastry’s classrooms where, believe it or not, they were studying complex mathematics. After about an hour of discussions we felt we were getting nowhere, but then  Mr. That suddenly informed us with a beaming smile that the monks had agreed to go along with us the following morning. Well done, Mr. That!
