Final Scenes from Cambodia

A floating village on the Tonle Sap (or maybe Mekong) River in Phnom Penh.

The Royal Palace--obviously Cambodian, but with lots of French-inspired touches as well.



It can be difficult to eat where most of the restaurants have tables right out on the street--so many children and disabled people begging. This little girl waited very quietly and patiently...probably because she was watching a Disney movie on the TV inside the bar.

Phnom Penh, near our hotel and the central market.

A coffin shop next to a favorite Thai restaurant in Phnom Penh.

Every Buddhist boy is expected to serve a stint as a monk at some point in their lives. Monks are not allowed to work, so anything they need comes from donations. People give food and money as a way to ensure good karma or blessings, so early mornings all the monks go up and down streets, giving blessings and accepting gifts.



Typical fruit stand in the Siem Reap market area...bananas, lychees, mangos, guavas, dragonfruit, mandarins, mangosteens...

The food court at the night market in Phnom Penh. Grab something from a stall, and pull up a mat.

A moment with Noah--not in motion.
