It has been moving day - viewing the killing fields of the Pol pot regime, the infamous SA-21 prison, adventurous rides in traffic, plus conversations with Jan and Ramona, have left interesting impressions.

The heat and humidity certainly takes its toll on one acclimated to the European climate. Even at night the temperature does not fall morning I found that early morning showers are not very practical. Local house help begins their early morning cleaning routines and water pressure drops to zero. I ended up in soap lather only, to find that i stood in the shower without any water for 4-5 minutes. Then I had a short stream, a few drops and then nothing again. The whole enjoyable event was about 20 minutes long.

The fruit in the marketplace looks enjoyable, but I have been warned to be careful - fresh water is not used to clean in the market. Nonetheless, it is something to behold.
