Phnom Penh - evening

tuk-tuk on the way to our hotel

We flew to Phnom Penh today with mixed emotions. As you've heard there was a horrific tragedy here yesterday where some 340 people were killed in a stampede during a festival. We don't know how to behave. Can we laugh and smile and take photos? Today is a day of mourning, we are trying to be mindful of that. People in this area seem to be getting on with things so we are going with the flow and just being ourselves.

At the airport the news showed very graphic images of the dead, and I couldn't help but begin to cry. They would never show something so graphic on the new in Canada, so that was a shock for me.

For an evening stroll at the night market. You folks are lucky there's no such thing as "smell o vision". It rivals some parts of India, and this is said with love for India.

Strolling - can you spot me? (Fox)
