Cambodia six

what i do not miss is hot water. what i do miss is being able to drink a gallon of water everytime i take a shower. if you do not have the habit of drinking excessive amounts of water while you are scrubbing down you are doing yourself a major disservice.

took a cooking class today which was amazing. went to the market with the chef master. bought the fish alive, left with them not so alive. i am pretty sure the market would not pass too many health inspections in the homeland. it was like going to a petting zoo but the zookeepers are all violently killing the animals. cooked up an amazing three course meal. fish amok to start out: cocunut chile sauce with catfish and vegetables. mango salad: green mangos, chiles, peanuts, amazing. basil stir fry with steak which had this garlic sauce which had my moto bike driver suffering in the latter day. seven bucks for three meals and some lessons, not bad. please send my compliments to the chef.

afternoon spent riding moto bikes around the backcountry river villages of battonbong and then to the bayon temples where we were greeted with some very nice monkeys and a thousand step climb. may have to get a $3 massage tonight. to get back to town we rode on this thing they call the bamboo train. basically a wood platform that these kids set on to two axles and fire it down rickety tracks with a moto bike motor. went about 10km on that which reminded me of riding an outdated roller coaster on flat turf. indiana jones was not there. friday night cock fight night.
