It’s been difficult to post lately because the internet is very slow and unreliable. The past two days were dizzying with many contradictions and strange events.
- Our hotel room was infested with fleas so we had to get a new one.
- The new room had exposed electrical wires in the shower. I’m talking bare metal that runs the AC on the other side of the wall.
- We experienced some of the most spectacular temples in the world. I’ll put up a separate picture post next Lord (and internet) willing.
- You can’t wander even a few feet into the Jungle anywhere because there are land mines everywhere.
- We saw 10 people piled high on a took took (motorcycle with cart).
- We saw a dead body lying in the street. A man had been hit by a passing car. There were no ambulances or official people of any kind. Just a pair of feet coming out from under a bloody white sheet.
- It was Amy an I’s 7th anniversary.
- We went out to an excellent Northern African Restaurant for our anniversary dinner.
- While at dinner we saw a man in his late 50’s bring in a 20 year old prostitute.
- The man was wearing a wedding band.
- We learned that the way Cambodians make money on the side is to set up plastic tarps in such a way that bugs get caught in them and drown. They sell the bugs to vendors who then sell them as snacks on the street.
We’re not sure how to interpret all we see. It’s overwhelming.
