Went to the market today at lunch and got linen pants that tie up. I feel truly Cambodian now. I'm not sure I quite look it though. There is something so satisfying about buying clothes for $3. You can buy so much more when its cheap.
After work four of us went back to play more soccer and basketball. We are quite a unique sight there and we have started to draw a crowd. We also played basketball and while we were playing basketball someone stole our soccer ball. I guess I was asking for it leaving it on the side of the court, but it still sucked. It is still awesome actually interacting with the local people though. They tend to be quite standoffish and the language barrier doesnt help, but when you are playing sports it bridges the culture gap.
At work I am editing a manual on Cambodian family law. If anyone has an easy word for "intestate" please let me know. It is interesting but sometimes difficult to stay inside when it seems like there are so many interesting things that we could be doing. We have a theme song for the summer. Its "Here Comes the Hotstepper" - I'm not sure why. Murdera. I am currently on an ongoing hunt to find poker chips here. Apparently they dont use them and they are basically unheard of. I had no trouble finding a kiddie pool though. We are considering putting one on the roof deck. The logistics of it are a little difficult but I think it might work.
