After work each day, if it's not pouring - we're coming into the rainy season - I take a walk up my street. I'm usually going against the incoming evening traffic of cows and carts and motorcycles and the occasional car and truck. Children love yelling out hello and if we stay engaged for very long out comes my jar of bubbles. I'm becoming quite found of a rowdy group of 7 to ten year old herder boys that I frequently meet. I stopped in one wooden building that had about 20 sewing machines. Women are being trained so they can have an income. My new Cambodian outfit will be ready tomorrow. They wear a lot of pajamas here mostly outside so I want to blend in! On last nights walk a boy cut down a coconut for me, cut off the top and presented me with a straw. Slurp!Wednesday, July 15, 2009
