DSCF3258 DSCF3257 .... and beyond....to Cambodia! So, you've read a little bit about what I did in Cambodia, now you can see some pictures and hear a bit more. These first pics  are of the Killing Fields monument and mass graves. The next two are at the prison where many of the more prestigious prisoners were kept and eventually executed. These were two very depressing places to visit, but it was good to go to see why Cambodia is the way it is today still.

  I got to visit my good friend Ellerie from YWAM while we were in Phnom Penh. It was great to catch up with her. Here we are at a cute western style cafe (one of many really nice little places all over the city---wish we had just one of these in Ping Liang...maybe someday).

  The main mode of transportation in Cambodia is motos (little motorcycles). We took these all the time. I loved it! Fitting three 'Americans' (really more like two and a half, since Ellerie is Filipino, and she's tiny like the Cambodian people) plus the driver is quite the squeeze, but we did it! It's common to see a whole family of two or three adults, plus two or three small children riding on one. Or 5 boys crammed together....

Ellerie has a few moto driver friends that she would call up for us sometimes to take us around or drop us off to meet her somewhere. We'd always ask them how much for the trip and they'd always tell us, 'It's up to you'... this made it difficult sometimes, since we didn't know the norm very well, but they were always happy with whatever we gave them.
