Siem Reap Residences
1:30pm


Yesterday we met up with the gang from the Siem Reap Food Club for "bagels and schmear" (with beer).  Zita spent most of his day cooking the most deliciously amazing bagels I've ever had, and we were treated to some really yummy accompaniments -the highlight for me being peanut butter mixed with fresh Cambodian honey...  divine!

Nice people, really good food and a lot of laughs.  Was a great afternoon




Its been crazy hot here the past few days. 100+ degrees, but after sunset the temperature drops quickly. Usually its down to 80 or so by the time we go to bed.  We must be acclimating, because we've become way less dependent on the aircon, and turn it off (or very low) at nighttime.   Still not ready to see what the electric bill for this month will be....

Day to day life is pretty low key.  Dave and Remy get up early at go walking.  I'm usually awake by 8am (seriously!) and then we make our plans for the day.  We've spent a good deal of time shopping for  the apartment - small shelves, clocks, etc. so its quite homey and comfortable.  So now we can sit back and enjoy it.

 some quick pics from around the neighborhood.

baby watermelons and baby humans.

I was enjoying natural peanut butter "with a touch of honey" just before reading this but I bet yours was better ;)

LOL at the baby melons! And I should have that fish thing done-- it is definitely gross though.

the fish thing is a must do. once. it tickles like mad, but doesnt hurt at all. rounds out the "tourist" experience.
