TRUE-FALSE-IT DOESN'T SAY

Japan's most famous dog


In front of the enormous Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze statue of a dog. Even though the statue is very
small when compared to the huge neon signs flashing, it isn't difficult to find. It has been used as a meeting point since 1934 and
today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive- just look for the crowds. Hachiko, an Akita dog,was
born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were inseparable friends right from the
start. Each day Hachiko would accompany his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left
for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog patiently waiting for him. Sadly, the professor died
suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home. Although Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his
owner was very strong and he continued to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time,
though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors. He became a familiar sight to
commuters over time. In 1934, a statue of him was put outside the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend
alive.

Visit Angkor Wat
Siem Reap is a small town near the world famous temple of Angkor Wat. The town is charming and worth exploring, with some fine
examples of Khmer and French colonial architecture set among the more modern developments. Nowadays, visitors are flocking in,
using it as a base for visits to the nearby temples. From the 9th to the 14th centuries, when Europe was still struggling out of the
Dark Ages, the Cambodian Empire of Angkor covered most of present-day Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. The heart of this
empire during the 12th century was the ancient capital of Angkor Thom, near present day Siem Reap, the site of the world’s largest
temple complexes, which were rediscovered in 1861.This spectacular city was built over 30 years under the reign of King
Suryavarman II (1113-1150). The area covers about 400 square kilometres and is full of the finest examples of Khmer art and
architecture. Tourists are always amazed at the scale of the place. In Angkor Wat you will find more than 100 stone monuments
and temple buildings, each of which contains countless statues, sculptures and reliefs that have weathered extremely little over the
last 800 years. To see the whole thing can take several days. The most important temples to visit in the area are Angkor Wat,
especially at sunrise or sunset; Angkor Thom, the remains of the capital; Ta Prohm, a palace overgrown by jungle; and Bayon.
Visas are required to enter Cambodia. You can obtain one on arrival at Siem Reap International Airport for $20, and 1 passport
photo is required per person. You will also need another passport photo for the Angkor Temple Entrance Pass. Please ensure you
take comfortable walking shoes, light clothing and plenty of water to drink as it is very hot there. The most commonly accepted
currency in Cambodia is the US dollar.
