We arrived in Phnom Penh and spent a couple nights here. We are in a hotel along the Mekong river which is nice in the evenings as we get a cool breeze which makes eating outside and going for walks quite pleasant. As we have more teddy bears than there are children at the orphanage, we have been giving them out to some of the poorer children we meet. There are many destitute people here and it is a little sad to see children sleeping on the sidewalks or in the gutters right next to the hotels us tourists are using. Nicole has been putting a teddy bear next to some of these children and hopefully they get some pleasure from the gift when they wake up. One of the ones we gave was to a little girl, about two, who had lost her left arm.
Stan also got to sample a local delicacy, a nice lightly fried bug with spices. The locals eat them like pop corn.
As always when we eat out here, our table became an instant hit with the kids as they all wanted to play cut the rope or fruit ninja.
As we walked around the market today, we got to watch them unloading the ice they use to keep the foods fresh (no freezers here).

Yummy!

Was the bug better then pop corn?
