2nd GMS (Greater Mekong Summit) is being held at the same time as our conference. The summit includes the six countries along the Mekong River. One of the delegations from Cambodia actually stayed in the same hotel as ours. The security details were nothing short of being visible. Each guest had to pass a mental detector to get in the hotel. Police-men and –women lined up streets every 20 meters in front of the hotel. All down businesses were closed to reduce traffic.

We visited Stone Forest in the afternoon after whole morning presentations. This was similar to the one we saw in Dalian but at a much larger scale. The area used to be bottom of ocean many million years ago. Now it consists of many strange shapes stones looking like a sword, cat, rat, elephant, etc. Sometimes they were obvious and sometimes one needed to use imaginations.
