We finally made it to Cambodia and it's about 12:30 here. I have no idea what time it is back home but I'm dead. We don't want to sleep yet though, because then we'll be up all night. Our guide, Pot, took us shopping this afternoon to a place called Tabitha's. It seems to be a place where underpriveledged women can put their sewing skills to use. I purchased some beautiful things there. Then we went to the grocery store. We wanted bottled water and some candy to take back for Deb's daughter Hannah's classroom. I have no idea what some of the stuff was. Driving is hair raising. So many motorcycles just jammed with people all going in different directions. Cars always seem to have the right of way, I guess because they are bigger. I saw three Buddist monks all jammed together on one little motercyle- only they don't call them motorcyles, they're cyclos, but they pronounce it seekloes. They push what look like rickshaw(only they are called tuktuks) and pull wagons. Gasoline is much more expensive here so the cyclos help keep down costs. More tomorrow- I'm off to eat God knows what for dinner! Mmmm-pickled squid!
