| Cambo (House) Five and Cambo Six |
 As requested: I have a house, the fifth place I've lived in five months. Sometimes, it's filled with mod, blurry people. They are awfully nice, and they did like our Mexican cooking, though I had to explain a few times to our Khmer neighbors that Lauren and I weren't actually from Mexico.
 Not requested, but here are a few staples of Phnom Penh life in an unassuming snapshot:
1) Taken from a tuk-tuk (motorcycle driven cart or vehicle)
2) Lots of rain, which floods the streets and makes the rats living in the sewers angry enough to run out and riot, and shake their little paws into the gray afternoon air
3) Cambo Six-- a popular chain-shop for gambling on British football teams
4) Motorcycles, which are at a higher risk of being stolen during football championships (Seriously.) Motos can generally be started with any key or piece of metal, so it's a wonder that more don't get knicked. Moto owner, beware. If the rat gangs don't drive away with it, a losing gambler just might. |

About Me: “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.” (Florence Nightingale)
