| Our group enjoyed trying new foods at the local market, but didn't eat here everyday as there was also a KFC in town! |
 |
| The group pictured above are the university students I helped teach English to while in Phnom Penh. It was fun to connect with them during our week and a half together! |
 |
| 80-90% of the population is Buddhist in Cambodia. Therefore, we enjoyed a unique opportunity to visit a Buddhist temple and learn from the monks about their faith. (Left) Near to our residence in Phnom Penh, we witnessed a birthday party. A tent was set up in the street and I snapped a few photos when passing. |

| Traffic in some Asian countries can be a headache, but I only experienced a couple traffic jams while in the capital city for two weeks. Cars & trucks are becoming more common, but motorcycles still rule the streets. (Above) a local security guard visits with a tutuk driver. Tutuks are the main form of public transportation, especially for foreigners like myself. |
 |
| Lifestyle in the city and in the country is drastically different. While not all housing is fantastic in Phnom Penh (left), jobs are more readily available and life seemed to be more stable. In the country, many are subsistence farmers living off of what they grow & selling any extra for other necessities. This man is likely well off compared to others because he appears to own a cow. |
 |
| The last part of our trip was spent in Siem Reap, a tourist hub for people visiting the ancient temples (stay tune for the next post). Life there was very comfortable...for tourists. |
