breakfast in cambodia

spent the week in cambodia. this was my breakfast every morning. couldn't get enough of it.

paris/saigon

We decided to go for a nice dinner while in Cambodia. Found this great French/Vietnamese restaurant. The owner is French, and married a Vietnamese woman, and opened this restaurant in Siem Reap. It was a great meal, and very affordable too! (by our standards. it was 2 months avg salary for their standards)

While we were in Siem Reap, the city was flooded. At the end of the meal, a couple came in and asked to be seated. Before they entered, the man took off his shoes and poured water out of the shoes. They were from Portugal, had just motorbiked over from Laos-- which they bough from $250. They had gone everywhere with that motorbike over the past 2 months. Sounds like they were having a great adventure.

10 years in a new world

10 years ago i was in bed, in a house in los altos, listening when the radio alarm turned on, and i thought the radio djs were joking about some plane crash. it finally dawned on me that they weren't kidding, and i rushed out to the living room to see images of the burning world trade center towers on cnn.

a lot has changed in 10 years...
