Today we are touring the temples including Angkor Wat. Yesterday our flight was delayed which made for rather a long and unfruitful day, but here we are. We were collected by our tour guide and then we had a 50 minute drive to get us to the hotel. Luckily it is just up the road from the temples, which is a bonus for this morning.
I was told in no uncertain terms that my dress was inappropriate for here and that shorts and no sleeves were no okay. Sepa and Sara got the tick of approval and all of a sudden I understood how the young women of Salem, Massachusetts felt. Today I am dressed in much more……school type clothing. In fact, I am pretty sure I have worn exactly this!
Yesterday morning, in Ho Chi Minh City I went for an early walk and I went blocks past the Tu Thuhk Markets. On my way back down, I was passed by a motorbike (1 or only 50 000 000) and I noticed the rider because she had this big sort of cape on and a long thing poking out the front of the bike. I kept an eye on her out of randomness as I wandered back toward the market. By the time I had got to her, she had unravelled her cape, put on her glasses, taken out her cane and was making her way down the sidewalk as a BLIND PERSON! I have not seen too many beggars, but that was her ploy. More power to her, but surely that must be one huge poke in the eye of karma?
