Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Friday, November 3. Flew to Phnom Penh. On the way to the hotel we stopped at the Champey Academy of Arts, a center that caters to young children. No qualifications needed, no enrollment fee. Wonderful dance performances by children aged 11 to 22. Very skilled. Bent fingers!

Used the old, local version of tuk-tuks (motorcycles towing a wagon), rather than the newer tuk-tuks (all-in-one contraptions), which are slowly creeping onto the landscape. Toured various parts of Phnom Penh, both pretty and not-so-pretty. Everyone wears helmets, no one stops. Very few red lights. Crossing a street requires courage and faith that traffic with flow around you. Stopped at a main square, then walked to dinner. Bused back to the hotel.

The country accepts dollars readily. Poor wifi.
