Weekend in the crazy, crammed, chaotic capital

Can you believe that's Boston nephew, Nate, with me in the tuk-tuk going to market in Phnom Phen! Minute world! We hooked up twice and may meet again next weekend in Siem Reap. Also magnifying our minute world, I hooked up with Susan, an AJWS volunteer who was in Uganda when I was there last summer. She and her husband John are about 9 hours southeast of here and we arranged to go into PP at the same time to renew visas. Also got to meet the other two AJWS in country volunteers over dinner Saturday night. While in the big city I got a $3 hour and a half manicure, bought a sheet, pillow case and tp and joined in aerobic dancing with throngs of Cambodians at the Asian Olympic Stadium. And now it's good to be home in rural Kratie!
