CAMBODIA | Saturday, 23 January 2010 | Views [1549]

Mmmm, street food! Cambodians love their food stalls! This one was located outside of Psar Tuol Tom Pong, also known as the Russian Market, where locally manufactured clothing by Ralph Lauren/Polo and Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy sell for closer to their real cost -- less than one-tenth of what they go for in the United States.

A diversion we couldn't have expected – an 8:30am visit to a Phnom Penh bar to watch, on big screen TV, Ive's alma mater Crimson Tide take the BCS National Championship – complete with Bloody Marys, the first Crystal hot sauce we have seen since leaving the States, and some traditional “Roll Tide Roll” paraphernalia (Ive had to bring that part!). We were joined by an upbeat Social Worker from Dothan, Alabama -- and a guy from Texas who became more and more sullen as the morning unfolded.

We seized a chance to dine on some “pick your own ingredients” soup at Phnom Penh's ultra-modern Sorya Shopping Centre.
