siem reap
early wake up call. Pile into tuk-tuk. Head out of town to a lake where folks live and work on the water. Floating pigstys and chicken coops. Lots of hardworking fisherman who throw small nets. Stopped at a floating restaurant/shop for lunch. Big hit as there were crocodiles and snakes on display. Later we nabbed a quick ride on the aforementioned ox-cart. Then off to the silk farm to watch worms eat mulberry leaves and silk being spun from cocoons.
Later we had that great asian dinner where u sit outside at plastic tables and you order stuff and it gets thrown on the grill of the sidewalk kitchen. Giant prawns, spare ribs, sauteed morning glory leaves with beef and oyster sauce. The cash register is a cookie tin. The electricity goes out, nobody bats an eye. No designer outfitted waitron coming to your table saying that they are Richard and will be your server for the evening and blithering about which farm the turnips came from.

You look like you are having a lot of fun. I miss you. What kind of snake is that? My mom wants to know "what is the fruit"? -Michael
