Temples are great, but let be honest Hubby and I were on a little temple overload.  Seriously 14 temples in 6 days, who does that?  AND, now that I have been writing about them, there were more than 14, I think we saw 15 or 16. 
Really, we didn't tire of seeing them, but 15 or 16 temples is plenty for 6 days.  (I still haven't showed you Angkor Wat!)

Hey Mom, if you are out there looking at these pictures now you know how us kids felt when you and Daddy would come home from vacation and would set up the projector and show us HUNDREDS of slides from your trips.  (How I wish I had those slides today.)

Anyway Hubby and I did take a few breaks from the temples - we took a cooking class and just wandered around the markets a bit.  He are a few fun pic's from the markets.  I encourage you to really look closely at these pictures so you can absorb everything, and then you might just have an idea of what it was like to be here.  Have fun!  :o)

The lady in the blue shirt was our cooking instructor. Check out the guy to the left of the picture - the one wearing the helmet. Yes, he was driving his motorbike through this market. Notice how the ladies hang their handbags?
Picture
See the little bowl to the right? That bowl is for the innards.
Picture
I have no idea what that vegetable is, or what is in the containers, OR what is in the bags.
Picture
Wow, just wow.
Picture
This lady was walking around selling this.
Picture
Super yummy fruits. Top: Rambutan Bottom: Longans
Picture
No idea.
Picture
Stomach lining? No thank you.
Picture
It is only 90+ degrees in this market.
Picture
Dragon fruit. I dig it.
Picture

I couldn't figure out why there were mounds of cash in some of the store fronts... now that I have been doing more reading on Cambodia I *THINK* this is old money, the money they used before the Khmer Rouge. However I could be wrong, if anyone knows the real reason why there are stack of money in some markets please tell me!!
Picture
Yum
Picture
Picture
Peeling garlic
Picture
Cambodian bananas are much smaller and are a little more firm than the bananas I am accustom to.
Picture
Holy pineapples!!
Picture
Fresh pineapple juice in a bag baby!!
Picture
I have NO IDEA.
Picture
Notice the black specks on the VERY FRESH pig parts?
Picture
Here is a close up...those black specs are flies.
Picture
That is NOT chocolate.
Picture
Frog anyone?
Picture
Best fruit I have EVER eaten. Mangosteen
Picture
The 'restaurant' we ate in. This lady is swinging here baby that is in the hammock.
Picture
Just before eating a meal that made me sicker than a dog.
Picture
POP top!! Ahhh this took me back to junior high! Not the beer, but the pop top. I really wanted to make a cool chain to go around my room. :o)
Picture
The dish that took me down. See that coffee cup of silverware to the left? When she brought that out and the silverware was in cold water I looked at Hubby and said "I'm a little nervous, maybe we shouldn't eat here". He agreed, but we had already ordered and ate it anyway. 2 antibiotics and 4 other meds later I am fine.
Picture
Me with a Buddhist nun. I should have had her say a prayer for me after eating that meal.
Picture
Street food. Spicy little mussels.
Picture
Mmmm....more street food, snails.
Picture
Taking a break from selling her goods.
Picture
How cute are these boys hanging out in the rice? Just another day in their little lives.

Look like you guys had fun. The green vegetable is bitter vegetable. You have to remove the thing that looks like white spider web inside and the seed. Vietnamese's used it in their soup. Also, the other one is blood not chocolate. Hope that will help

The football shaped/sized 'fruit' is a banana flower bud.

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
