Eating crickets and other photos





Have added crickets to my list of Weird Foods Tried. Deep fried and with a bit of salt; mostly crunch without taste, but remove the legs because this girl didn't shave.








The winners of the Cambodia Coffee Championships: a little coffee shop on 1 1/2 street in Battambang. Treated self to a cappuccino there and I flew back to Seattle for a few minutes. Heaven in froth and aromatic form. 









Bicycles in Mr. Camry's trunk.






Scene in Mr. Camry's packed backseat.










Deep fried whole pigeons and snakes. Did not partake in these ones however.








Typical Cambodia internet cafe. 50 cents an hour; I'm generally the only foreigner, the only female, and the only one over 21 years old.






Yes, Toto, we are in Cambodia. Believe it or not. This is the glittering everything-is-available Siem Reap, the support town around the UNESCO site Angkor Wat. It feels like Disney World: all full of bright lights, things you want (in this case, yogurt, cute dresses, and fruit shakes), and people of all nationalities.
 





Yes, this is Cambodia, Part II. The courtyard of our $10 a night hotel. The difference between the tourist centers and rural towns is astounding.








A wedding last night; I gleaned some "trash" from it to decorate the bicycle.








Monkey see, monkey do, monkey pick some tasty nits.

Thank you! I so love taking photos and knowing my people will see them. :)
No, the only monkeys I saw were in part of the temple park.
