We've moved

Moving Day for us was last Saturday. We packed up our suitcases again and loaded up the Hale's car, and then we headed to their house and set up. They are so generous to give us a room for the next three weeks! We went to Phnom Penh later in the day to stock up on some groceries, water, and eat at an Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere, which was a well-appreciated treat for all of us. The driving here is so different...There we were, all nine of us, stuffed into the Hale's 1996 Forerunner. This would never fly in the States, but that's just the way it is here.

We all tried a Khmer "treat" on the way home: looks like a dinner roll but it's filled with sweet bean paste. Then, there was another doughy roll that tasted a little like a Circus Peanut (do you remember that orange, spongy, foam-like candy that was shaped like a large peanut?) but it also had a smell like fingernail polish. Is this something that is okay to eat? Bill says that they grow on you...
