Food and Drink

Silk Worm. Tastes just like a patate esti!
Crepe master 2000
Unknown Hawker food
Sweet banana wrapped in sticky rice which is then wrapped in a leaf of some sort. Very tasty and cheap, about $.20

The wonderfully sweet Lychee or Litchi (english spelling). Inside is the white, super yummy fruit.

Vietnamese coffee.... awesome!

Salmon and tuna sushi, veges and cashew stir fry, and a side of beer, tea, and fruit shake.... Life is hard!!hehe

I wish I knew from which bird this egg came from. Nonetheless it wasn't too bad.

Coconut drink and coconut filled with curried pork, chicken, and veges for our rice. Brilliant!

Phnom Penh and Royal Palace

The royal palace. While the architecture and spatial distribution of these temples are mind numbing, the one thing that does get annoying is the restricted access to almost all temples. Not only that but the officials seem very bored and feel the need to herd everyone around like sheep. Glad we saw it but if you ask me, it's def overpriced.

Nowadays the monks smoke and visit the local brothels.... the times they are a changin!

The Killing fields of Phnom Penh

The killing fields. This is where the Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge emprisoned, tortured, and executed over 1.7 million women, children, men, intellectuals, foreigners, officials, and anyone he doubted. This mass loss of life occured in a mere 5 years (1975-1979). Locals have told me that during his rule the capital city was a ghost town, a town which usually has a population of over a million people.
