New Year's Eve in Cambodia. Fish message/pedicure? The fish eat all the dead skin off your feet...I didn't have it in me to try it.

Ta Prohm, Angkor







12th century Mahayaa Buddhist temple, built from 1186 by Jayavarman VII...is cloaked in dappled shaow, it's crubling towers and walls locked in the muscular embrace of centuries-old treees....used for shooting both Tomb Raider and Two Brothers (Lonely Planet).

Buddhist monks wear this traditional outfit. I think these are the ones in training.

Christmas Dinner for the Church

Dec 26th, we had a Christmas curry dinner for the people in the church complete with gift draws and a small gift for everyone. The day before Pastor John, Erin and I made the curry with all the "trimmings" for 150 people. My hands smelled like garlic for days.


























Christmas in Cambodia

We had a Christmas dinner in Cambodia...Americans, Russians, Dutch, Cambodians and your token Canadian. The dutch boy was a "pickup" on the bus. He didn't have anyone to spend Christmas with...I don't think he'd spoken to many people in the past couple months cause he was so chatty for a 19 year old.
