Conrading

Shoutouts:

Parly - keep your nose clean there in London, you already got your souvenir scar.

Matt Rothenberg and Caitlin Allen - I think about you two a lot, I miss you and hope things are well, duh. Senior year will be - how do they say it in the US? - wicked cool.

Ian - you like?






Phnom Pehn is neat. There are lots of old French couples and cute Scandinavian girls on holiday, making it very different from our stay in Can Tho, where we were usually the only tourists around. English is very common in the NGO corner of the city, and since Cambodia has a dollarized economy, things are a bit more expensive. Angkor draft beer is a nice change of pace - still light but a little maltier. We went to the Killing Fields today by tuk tuk, which was pretty heavy.

More to come - Russian Market tomorrow, giving a presentation, and Angkor Wat on Wednesday... I'm scouting for a massage, too, because it has been way too long since my last one (4 days).

  3. I MISS YOU TOO! There are so many specialties in the central market I see and think: if only Gordie were here we would make something delicious with that. Like pigs feet and calf head! Bull testicles, why not? Also, love the roof of that last building!
