Christmas time is coming. This is even evident here in Siem Reap. This will be our first Christmas away from family. But we'll try skype into the respective Christmas parties.
We have one mall in Siem Reap and they recently put the Christmas tree out front. This is the only place in Siem Reap with escalators. When we first took the kids out here for an excursion, they were too scared to go up the escalators and we had to carry them up one at a time.
A five star hotel is doing some charity fund raising on Christmas eve for the kids of CDO. As Stan is the oldest and fattest barang (white person) they know, Stan has been asked to be Santa clause for the night. It is going to be one very hot night for him in the suit and beard... even if we get our 22 degree Celsius cold spell.
Stan recently went to the temples with Julian who visited for 5 days. Here are some photos of that trip.
Our friend Sitha tried to get us to eat some curried spiders. She told us that when she was a little girl, she used to catch them and eat them on her own as they were very poor. She likes the bulbous bit the best and she pulled that off first thing and ate that. Stan tried a leg but was not very impressed.
