When In Cambodia…

• We drive around in Tuk Tuks.

• Fried noodle with egg has been one of our most common meals for dinner.

• We walk along the railroad every day to get to ministry.
• Rooftop pools are the best place to hang out on off days.

• The main tourist area, known as Riverside, is also a very large Red Light District.  This is very common in southeast asia…
• Not many people speak English, less than we have experienced in any other country.
• The area near the railroad is considered the slums of Phnom Penh.
• They eat noodle soup for breakfast.

• Markets are the best!  There’s the Russian Market, Central Market, the Night Market, and so much more.  All of them sell American type products at an extremely cheap price.  For instance, Bose speakers (look-alikes) are only $15 or want a new pair of Birkenstocks?  Those are $10!
• Street food carts are the best place to get a cheap meal and can be found all around town. 

• They sell lots of fresh sea creatures at the market.

• Mango is their choice of fruit.
• Bubble tea is everywhere and very popular!  Bubble tea is ice tea with tapioca balls. 

• Always be on guard for very large spiders lurking around in your things.
• We enjoyed visiting cafes , such as Daughters of Cambodia, that hire and support women who have gotten out of sex-trafficking.

• You may get some strange stares as you take one of your Cambodian friends to the doctor for a fractured arm. 

• It’s easy to find ice coffee on the streets and it comes with a handy little carrying strap! 

• You may never stop sweating from the heat.  
• PB&J is the best after an intense game of soccer.

• You get to celebrate your Birthday at the beach!
