Parting shots of Cambo
These are the some of the last postable photos I took in Phnom Penh. The city itself doesn't hold much for me, but I dwell on the thousands of pictures of our sweet kids! This is a 'street' along Steung Meanchey village slum. Tim joined me on my last day at the child care center, and we joined rounds with the community workers, to give some baby clothes to new mothers and distribute some bread. We weren't of any use except as a novelty, but being with community workers kept us from being regarded immediately as tourists with handouts and stealable things. Along this path, the bags hold recyclables and salvaged items that can be sold and sent to Vietnam for processing. The shacks along either side are houses.
The CPP is everywhere!!

Under a house-- up on stilts because it'll all be mud and water during rainy season. Amazing to pay $5-$20 per month to live on top of rubbish.

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