No visit to Cambodia is complete without attending at least one performance. The Apsara Dance comes from the legend that Cambodia originated from the union of the hermit Kampu and the Apsara Mera. The Apsara dance shows one of the myths in Cambodia about the coming together of Mera, a dancer and Kambu, a wise man.
