| Going glam |
 What to do when waiting for a ride to a wedding? Check out the 'flections in a Lexus. Ballin'.
 Everything about Cambodian weddings is big and bright and over-the-top. Two wonderful staff members got married on Sunday, and everyone and their mother (and the little volunteers) were invited. Many happen out on the street, under bright tents, for that festival feel. This one happened in a huge air-con wedding ceremony palace. The traditions are half-east, half-west. When the bride and groom walked in, she wore a white dress, and they circled the table several times while we all threw little flowers. Then, came time for the cake. Cue "Here Comes the Bride," and light the... birthday candles. Make a wish! A little fusion? After that came lots of dancing. Sadly, we didn't get to eat the cake.
 Mr V and Raychaa, gone glam for a moment. I may commission a crazy glittery dress to be made for me soon, and I'm rethinking my (imaginary and not happening soon) wedding plans. Out with class. Starting to like the idea of crazy colors and a DJ wearing a kroma who croons American rap songs in a foreign language. Martha Stewart Wedding magazine, cancel my subscription. Once you've gone gaudy, you'll never go back.
 Cyclo pub crawl-- how excited is this driver to have someone else take his seat? I bet he was glad to rest his flipflopped feet.
 And from the night before, happy birthday to Nora! Hey, what kind of pet shop is serving flaming B-52s at midnight? The best... damn... pet shop in town! |

I'm glad to see you're still a dedicated blogger. And I'm sure you're glad to see that I'm trying to avoid writing a paper by reading your blog. So, thanks for the procrastination.
