Cambodian fruit! Rambutans (left) and mangosteens (right) are in season. Aren't they weird-lookin? But they're sweet and delicious....
Most photogenic palm tree in my village. Possibly in all Cambodia.
I visited the Royal Palace when I was in Phnom Penh for the 4th of July a couple weeks ago. (I have no idea what this building is for.)
Even though the main wedding season is over, there are still occasional weddings. This is my host mother and me on our way to my former host brother's wedding. We appear to have fallen victim to very poor lighting. We participated in the ceremony by carrying pastries on trays from the groom's family to the bride's. Traditional Khmer clothing is hot (temperature-wise).

It was absolutely incredible to talk with you this weekend, really made my day. It's a little like talking on a walkie talkie..."aaron, over"
I'll send you some fun things soon. Hope you're having a good time when you next read this.
To cut down on boredom: I'm giving you an assignment. I want to see photos that best illustrate the interface of modernity and ancient culture. So english language next to Khmer, tractors next to women working on homemade baskets. Internet next to outhouses. Whatever you can find.
Hope you're doing well. Best,
Aaron
