Wireless internet and the market

Someone told me about a coffee shop that has wireless internet, so I have been going there to catch up on emails, and to drink massive amounts of coffee. For a minute I forgot that I was in Cambodia. I was typing on my computer, drinking some coffee and listening to the Norah Jones that was playing over the speakers in the coffee shop. I felt like I wasn't too far away from home, but then I looked up and there were two monks standing at the front door and that put me back into reality.

After leaving Cafe Sentiment I walked a block down to the New Market (Psar Thmei). It is so much fun wandering around a city that you aren't very familiar with - so many new things to see. As soon as I walked into the market I was in the food section - lots of meat hanging everywhere. This makes my stomach a little upset, because I know that the meat I am eating is probably coming from a similar place.

I went to see some of the items they had for sale, and I bought a couple of small gifts. I walked around town and ended up almost walking all the way home - which was kind of shocking. I stopped to eat at a restaurant before getting picked up, and Julie said that I was very brave for eating where I ate...I probably should have just went to the KFC that was around the corner. Below are just some pictures from my walk around town.
