One of the challenges of living here, as most people will tell you, is finding fun things to do.
However, Phnom Pehn does have a nice variety of restuarnats.
Terrace, a coffee shop within walking distance (although Joe and I usually ride a moto),
is a fun place Joe and I like to go to for lunch!

Wow, great logo huh?
There's something strangely familiar about it...

Rene's lunch clock-wise beginning at the top:
dried shrimp, pork in a peanut sauce, green beans, scrambled eggs, red onion, sour mango.
Yummy!

Joe's lunch:
A good hamburger, not to be confused with a good American burger.
It has cabbage, hot sauce and an all around Asian flavor.

Each person gets two toilet paper squares of napkin :)

Desert!


Here's a closer look...
a donut-ish cake, rolled in sesame seeds.
Inside there is a filling that is very smililar to mashed sweet potatoes.
Not too sweet, just lightly fried, a good end of the meal treat!

Summer Jobs

Cambodia has a large gap between social classes. The wealthy are very wealthy and a very small percent. The middle class is very rare. The poor are common. The vast majority are impoverished.
This summer the guys worked during the day to help build school/church buildings and shelter for the impoverished and in the evenings taught English classes.
You can see the construction style of woven grasses for walls and round wooden poles for the frame.

Hocklee and David also taught the English level 1 class. Each class had one Khmer teacher and two of our guys teaching. They were very insistant that our guys do as much teaching as possible because they sounded much clearer. It ended up that the Khmer teacher assited in crowd control for the majority of the class time While our guys tought. Bettween all the classes there were over 150 students.
