Just Another Day in Cambodia

Things have been a little more calm today, and without our walk we would not have had any pictures for our post tonight. The sunrise was without the bright colors, yet the clouds and golden sunrise were still beautiful.

The morning crowd includes those who are busy sweeping and cleaning to have everything clean for the day, so we were amused by the street sweeper woman riding on the back of a bicycle dragging her broom as she went. It reminded us of a day we saw a similar ride, but that woman held her broom in a way that looked like she was riding the broom.

The bamboo on the head gives us a chance to describe another available street food. These bamboo pieces are filled with rice, then cooked over a charcoal fires. They may have some coconut milk or something else to add flavor. We have not tried this, but then we have made a point of avoiding the street foods.

The boy on the moto is someone who greets us some mornings. He usually stands on a corner while his dad sits on the moto, waiting to "dope" or give rides for fare. Today instead of just the moto it appears they have a new Tuk-Tuk, and our young friend sat on the moto while his dad took a nap in the seat of the Tuk-Tuk.

Our day was spent reviewing, editing, and improving PowerPoint presentations we are preparing for several different upcoming events. We were able to get one on "The Value of Work" almost finished, including having Phanna translate the slides into Khmer, for a presentation this weekend in Battambang. What needs to be finished is the animation and font colors, so just a few cosmetic touches. We are excited to see how it is coming together. When it is finished President Christensen has already requested a copy for his files.
