"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade wind in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --Mark Twain

On the Road in Cambodia

Wednesday March 23, Hue, Vietnam

Hi All, let me start to catch up:

On the way from Phnom Phen on the 19th, the bus made a rest stop at a small street market featuring deep fat fried insects... yes I said insects! Attached are a few pictures. The featured item tarantulas and crickets. Cambodian appetizers - No I didn't :)

Dinner the night before in Phnom Penh featured a "hot pot". This is a pot placed in the center of the table, ala fondue style, where your meal is cooked by the group at the table. Greens and meats are delivered to the table, and everyone drops them in to boil. A fun feast (see video)

Back to HCMC in the evening and I spent one more day there before flying out to Danang on March 21. In Danang area, much to see. Will get back to you then.
