Cambodia - Phenom Phen




7.29.08

The road down was six hours by bus.
At a stop along the way
people were selling bbq'd tarantulas.
No, I didn't try one.

On the ride, there was a tv playing Cambodian karaoke
and Chinese films with dubbed in Cambodian.
Hideously bad. I'm convinced
that one girl did the voices for all the different girls in the movies.

Phenom Phen is a city like many others,
but poorer. We only stayed a night.
We saw the killing fields
and on the way back saw a huge hog
cross the road with no fear of traffic whatsoever.
Ballsy.

More fantastic food.
