| Cruising |
 Holiday number 65 of the year (Queen's Birthday Celebration... for the elderly... and the water harvest) was my first escape from central Phnom Penh in weeks, but we didn't get that far. Loaded up some PEPY bikes, set off into the 30C heat, and cruised around on red dirt roads towards Choeung Ek, aka the Killing Fields. Not a good destination for a lazy holiday ride, you say? You'd be right. Just a touch of Deepresso is how we roll in Cambodge.
 House on a lake where they grow morning glory and other water vegetables.
 Good clean water! Yum.
 Kids at a temple or pagoda-- not sure the difference. Widows and extremely poor children, usually abandoned or orphaned, can live on pagoda grounds in exchange for washing dishes, taking care of the grounds, and the like. The monks accept food from community members, and in exchange, the people living there can eat their leftovers. |

| So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka. |
