Cambodia...

I thought I had a culture shock in Bangkok but wow. As soon as we arrived we had guys hopping up with only one leg and one eye begging for money. Been to the killing fields and prison today. It was all too much for me, treading on the ground with human teeth sticking out of it knowing that thousands of people were tortured to death beneath your feet...I had to walk away. Nothing really shocks me much anymore but today has been a real eye opener. Seen enough human skulls to last me a lifetime thanks. It's ridiculously hot here too. Highlight of the day is the street restaurant. It's run by guys who have taken kids off the street and trained them to cook and waiter. And the food was incredible! Mushroom spring roll with lemon mayonnaise, chicken and pumpkin curry and fried tofu with vegetables and fruit salad. Amazing how well I'm eating now! Although the appertiser was a real rare delicacy....tarantula served with honey rice wine and pepper sauce. I mananaged half of it until it suddenly clicked I was eating a spider and I started to gag. Maybe I'll turn into spiderman now? Early start tomorrow. Off to Siam reap and some
Much needed time by the pool. Xxx
