We will be finishing a final video over the coming weeks (months) that will hopefully embody our experiences with the Siem Reap Junior Soccer League. We will share it when it is ready, but until then, have a look at www.WASSADEAL.com for Miles' musings on the world.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Our time here is coming to an end and besides finishing up
another project for Grace House and getting the last of our footy footage we
are trying to make the most of our Cambodian adventure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gabe has been traveling with his
visiting brother for the week but before they left we all went horseback
riding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just a fifteen minute walk
from our house there is a place called Happy Ranch where you can get lessons or
go on guided tours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although we
had each ridden at least once before we were certainly not qualified to just
take off on our own – fortunately we were able to fake some credentials to do
so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I rode a pregnant horse named California aka Miss
California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was told she had a
week left of riding before she’d be taken out of the starting lineup to give
birth to little Cali, but that I shouldn’t be afraid to kick her into action.
We rode through rice paddies and villages and even at one point a pagoda –
monks and children alike waving and yelling “hello!” as we passed through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At a few points we went through open
areas where we got to take our trots to a cowboy canter and fly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I must admit I could easily have lost
control of old California and landed in a ditch somewhere but I held on long
enough to ride into the Cambodian sunset that seemed to be timed perfectly with
our trek.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can't say I am not ready to get back to America the beautiful but I really am going to miss this place. Plan on spending the last few weeks taking photos, hanging with my DVD family (paying for their future son's college tuition through my purchases), and taking in every-asian-thing that I will miss upon my return. Time here has been nothing short of amasian. Gotta run - my fried tofu with peanuts, basil, and chilis just arrived alongside my mango and shrimp salad. Nom. Nom. Nom. </div>

We made it for a small community center called Grace House which is just four kilos south of Siem Reap. They recently finished building a library. They only have two shelves neither of which is completely full of books. They are hoping to have as many as six. We hope you enjoy the video and stay tuned for more soon.<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Bong in Khmer is a term that refers to either an older sister or older brother - Bong Srey and Bong Pro respectively. The term is not limited at all to family members but is a common term for friends of a given age. Point is - we have lots of bongs in Cambodia - older sisters and older brothers in our neighborhood or people around town we have gotten to know. Some of our bongs serve us breakfast, some of our bongs make our drinks, and ONE of our bongs sells us our DVDs. Bong Srey Leak (pronounced 'Lay-Ahk') - aka Princess Leak aka Big Mama as she likes to call herself. Now of course this relationship has been built around the frequency that I have stopped by to buy DVDs since moving here - but the majority of time spent with Leak nowadays is nothing short of straight chilling.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">What sparked the idea for this post today was the several hours I spent sitting with her in front of her shop just a few hours ago. We usually talk a little bit about movies and a lot a bit about life - there is most often eating involved with these visits. Today we consumed an entire watermelon and a plate of pork rice cakes as we chatted. We talked about the process of applying for a visa for her and her husband (and their soon to be son) to visit America in a year's time. Leak is due in May - hence the name Big Mama. We also talked about the similarities that exist regarding the Boston/New York rivalry and the way some Thai people feel about some Cambodians (and vice versa). </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">"It start like back in history between the governments," Leak said and then paused, stared off into the distance, and spit a watermelon seed as far as she could. "but government is government and people is people!" she finally said with a smile.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> I doubt she could hold any prejudice against anyone in the world be they Khmer, Thai, or even New Yorker (maybe after a few more chats we will settle that up though). </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> We then talked about a few different news stories she had read that morning - one of which she found to be the funniest thing she had ever heard. Now her english is great, but certainly not perfect - she is constantly asking me to explain different words she doesnt know - but I generally got the gist of what she had to say.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">"How do you say like a small guy?" she asked, holding her hands out in front of her with one above the other a couple feet apart. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I offered some attempt at political correctness "A little person."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> "No but like the word?"</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> "Midget?" </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">"Ya that one. Well he had like a wife who was like normal size and he was getting jealous whenever she would see her with like other people normal size so he like try to divorce her but like..."</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">She erupted into laughter and was unable to further explain any part of the story. Now I don't know why the word 'like' has become such a part of her vocabulary and I don't know EXACTLY why she thought it was so funny but I do know it was the highlight of my day. Leak embodies and in the most classy and humorous way flaunts the genuine joyfulness that nearly all Cambodians have within them.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Going to try to post some pictures from my ipod (and a video if it works) but more to come soon everybody. Much love from Cambodia.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

Wanted to give a quick update on what we have been up to the past few days and the beginning of the soccer season here in Siem Reap. First off we went out for lunch last week at a Burmese restaurant and were endlessly impressed with the food. They had a long list of curry similar to an Indian restaurant with chicken, beef, and mutton options with varying other ingredients - i.e. potatos, split peas, pickled mango. I had a beef and beef and split pea curry and Gabe had mutton and potatos. Each dish was accompanied by rice, roti, and a light soup (broth and onions). I highly recommend that given the chance everyone gives Burmese food a shot - not quite like anything youve tried before but if you are a fan of Indian food you will be delighted by Burmese.<br />
<br />
Second off we have started playing basketball again. For those of you who don't know we have been joining a pickup game that is played every day at 4 or 430. This week, three of us (with Jordan and his jumpshot in tow) we teamed up with two Korean kids and won three games straight (beating mixed teams of Khmer and Philippinos). Our friend and fellow expat Tyler, who is from Maine but living here teaching English, showed up and with a team of fast Khmer kids beat us in an exhausting battle. We are finally getting used to little aspects of the game that make it different from pickup ball we've all played at home. For one, there is ALWAYS a player streaking to the basket as soon as a basket is made on his hoop or when he sees a turnover. The hail-mary passes that make those cuts worthwhile are difficult to make, but we are often caught off guard in this way. Second we are getting used to players who play the same position every point - one player in particular is an approximately fifty-five year old man who sits at the top of the right side of the three point line non-chalantly waiting for the ball. He rains threes on us constantly - launching the ball with his entire body in the seemingly least athletic way possible. Wet. He has gained our respect quickly although we knew he was a legend the second he stepped onto the court - taking one last drag of his cigarette, stubbing it out on the bottom of his worn basketball shoes, and tossing it to the side.<br />
<br />
Next up to share is our visit to a local all you can eat barbecue joint. For three dollars you are given a grill at each table and a buffet of every meat you can imagine and some you can't. Beef, pork, chicken - and two un-identifiable ones of similar color. Squid, crab stick, clams and an assortment of fish cakes. In addition there is tofu, rice and yellow noodles, rice, and vegetables of all sorts plus spring rolls (fresh and fried). I actually left the table worried that I would vomit between the table and the street. I made it and somehow biked home pleasantly plump and stupidly satiated. Prolly go back this week...<br />
<br />
And of course our biggest news is that the Siem Reap Junior Soccer League HAS BEGUN! Teams in the 15 and under age group took to the fields beginning at 8 am and by kick off at 9 there were easily two hundred kids and fans there. This number only grew (to probably a total of over 300) throughout the day as more games started every half hour or so - teams play 12 minute halves with a 2 minute water break in the middle. We have realized that the overall story to be told about the soccer league will come from getting to know people (coaches, families) and kids from all different teams in the league. On just the first day we learned about a team of girls that walked 4 kilometers to the fields to play in the first soccer game of their lives. We also learned about a team of international students - from Korea, France, Holland et al. who have also joined the league this year. Most of our attention of course was on the kids we have trained with from Grace House Community Center - who came out victorious in a 4-2 battle. We are really hoping to better get to know these kids in the coming weeks and share their stories with you - and you will best be able to determine for yourself what the addition of organized sport has provided their lives. It was apparent Sunday and will only become so more as the season goes on.<br />
<br />
Photos to come soon from the soccer field festivities and a few portraits of the kids from our neighborhood. New Wassadeal stickers are being made in the next twenty four hours. Get em while theyre hot or find them plastered over the city of Siem Reap. Love, Peace, and deep fried tofu with ginger, bok choy, n chicken grease.

Wanted to school ya'll in on whats for dinner out here in Cambodia. The pictures below perfectly illustrate what you get for 30 cents at the Old Market and for free for volunteering at Trailblazers NGO. We paid 30 cents for the morning glory (a Khmer favorite out here), garlic, and rice at the Phsa Chas (Old Market); and we got about a kilo of chanterelle mushrooms FO' FREE from Trailblazers. The NGO is in the midst of doing tests for growing mushrooms out here sustainably so that they can teach the villages who practice subsistence farming.

After the bags are misted several times a day, copious amounts of shrooms start exploding out of little holes in the plastic. We get to measure the yield and then take some home to fry up. This project has only just begun but pretty soon Khmer villagers in the surrounding region will learn to grow and eat their own gourmet chanterelles. We cooked the morning glory with tons of garlic, some soy sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce. If you don't know about oyster sauce - you better axe somebody. It's the realness. The mushrooms got cooked in oil and garlic and salt; however, I wish we had some fine olive oil or some butter... That's not the point though. I'm gonna break you off with one of Papa Zinn's favorite jokes before we wrap this up: "Why do toadstools grow in clumps....? Because there isn't mushroom!" If you didn't understand that or didn't find it funny, well, that's not really my concern. <br />

The coconut has been sitting in a cooler full of ice and a man chops a tiny hole in the top with a few adept swings of a large cleaver. He then sticks a straw in it and hands it to me. I drink it while walking down the street. I just thought I'd share that with you...

New Year's Eve was a bit of a spectacle around town and I am happy that is has come and passed so that we can get back to the regular slowed down pace of life that is normal to Siem Reap. Having said that, things are beginning to pick up around here. The league officially starts up this Sunday and the fixtures are completed for the entire season. Tonight there is a league meeting we will attend and representatives from all the children's centers involved will be there. It should be good for everyone to get the whole thing underway - especially Gary Hodder, league founder. It's hard to describe the way things get accomplished in Cambodia but everything is done to a slightly different beat with a different sort of logic underlying the whole process. It has definitely been a struggle getting everyone on the same page. Twice already have we attempted to run soccer clinics with Gary only to have none of the kids show up for various reasons mostly with regards to communication. In any sense, it will be a wonderful sight once the kids are on the pitch and running around consistently.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>With the notion of the league starting and the kids playing soccer, we have had the urge to kick the ball around ourselves. Yesterday we rose from bed early to meet up with our friend (and fish massage worker) Sotcheat. He had organized a team of Khmer to play a team of foreigners that we put together. This was our third attempt at organizing a game and it was finally successful (Gary's not the only one who has had trouble with this as you can see...) They had 7 we had 5. We ended up beating them slightly but it was still a close game. We could not play for long as all of our conditioning was so poor and some of us were still recovering from an eventful New Years Eve. Sotcheat sent me a text message swearing he would be victorious in our next match. Hopefully that will be soon. Later that day we biked 4 kilos down the Siem Reap river towards the Tonle Sap Lake to participate in a practice for the Grace House team. Grace house is a small community center just outside of Siem Reap where we will consistently be coaching/drilling/playing with/filming the kids. We showed up and had a blast running around with the kids and giving them small pointers. It was instantly apparent the large amounts of pleasure and well-being that can be garnered by being involved with organized sport as a youth - or as XL youth like ourselves. It was a nice reaffirmation to both of us that coming over here and being involved is not only a noble and worthwhile cause, but going to be oodles of fun.</div>W.P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00727060155710994671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940350433457792274.post-80040070580047088832010-12-28T01:37:00.000-08:002010-12-28T01:37:18.625-08:00Webisode #3 - Straight Razors CambodiaNot really sure if this should be considered a webisode or not, but we think you will find it interesting. I was looking over some unused media from our first week in Siem Reap and realized there was some footage of my first straight razor shave in Cambodia. If you can't tell from the video we were literally in a little metal structure with a tarp for a roof on some small side street of Siem Reap. If you remember the post about getting my ears cleaned... well this is where it happened. Hope you enjoy the video.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">So, it’s pretty hard for me to believe that we haven’t even attempted to share some Cambodian lingo with all of you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be honest, maybe we have and I just have not noticed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has definitely been true that Miles has been the more diligent proprietor of the blog and I think he has done a damn good job keeping you guys all up to date and interested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having gotten that out of the way it is time to let ya’ll know wassadeal with some Cambodia speak.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For starters, you should never call the language ‘Cambodia speak’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cambodians are correctly known as the Khmer (pronounced ‘khmai’) and there language is similarly named so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the moment we arrived, we have made a number of Khmer friends who have taken the effort to share the culture and language with us. In addition, Miles and I were wondering around our neighborhood the other day and about 200 yards from the Honeymoon Palace we stumbled upon a Buddhist Pagoda where 10 monks live. A monk named Sony invited us back to the Pagoda yesterday for a Khmer lesson and good conversation. It was a very nice experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, without further ado, here is a list of all the words we have learned thus far that we feel are appropriate to publish to our blog (believe me, Khmer men love teaching us words and phrases that are completely inappropriate to say in 99% of situations – they tend to find it hilarious).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Been up to some heavy sweating over at Trailblazers building and delivering water filters and otherwise planning our attack for the upcoming soccer season - which is near ready to kick off. Gabe traveled to the capital city of Phnom Penh for the weekend with his friend who is visiting who goes by the name of <a href="http://theglutenfreenomad.blogspot.com/">The Gluten-Free Nomad</a>. More on that to come.<br />
<br />
I spent the weekend taking pictures (to be posted this evening) and trying my hand at a few other new potential talents. Firstly, I learned about a free Khmer class at a Cafe just a few minutes from town. I went for my first lesson Saturday and learned two pages worth of vocabulary, phrases, numbers, and a joke or two. The teacher was very easy to understand and helpful in describing the way to sound out the words I learned - although I often had to create my own phonetics to best remember them. The classes meet on Saturdays and Sundays and I plan to continue going whenever possible. Choice phrases learned include "My name is Miles", "I am from America", "I am ILL", "Don't fart!!", and of course "Wassadeal?" - which translates to 'Soksobay' and is by far the most common greeting in Cambodia (soon to be second to wassadeal).<br />
<br />
Next up was Kung Fu. While working at Trailblazers I have gotten to know a man named Boris who is visiting from Belgium - where he is an energy efficiency consultant and an assistant Kung Fu master. All last week we talked a little about energy efficiency and a lot about Kung Fu. Sunday we had our first lesson and I got my ass kicked - happily. We have continued each night this week and it has been an incredible experience for body and mind. Unfortunately Boris is leaving Saturday so after this week it will be up to me to continue my practice - but I very well may thanks to the help of Boris' instructional videos he's given me. Coming for you, RZA.<br />
<br />
Also to note is that for the first time Gabe and I walked down the road from our house (rather than straight to town) for the first time. In seconds we found fields of harvesters and cows and in minutes we found a monastery. Immediately we were greeted by three or four monks and welcomed to take a seat at a large stone table with them. One in particular (with the best English) sat with us for nearly an hour talking about the monastery and their daily practices there. We then got a grand tour from classrooms to crematoriums of which are going to put together a video for them and for you.<br />
<br />

Here's a quick blog post to fill you all in on the happening's about Siem Reap (new pictures should be up tomorrow). The most exciting news around here is that the four of us who all live at the Honeymoon Palace finally went and saw a wonder of the world - Angkor Wat and the other temples of Angkor. They were incredible, but first a tangent: we have been debating what to call our Cambodian abode. It feels weird to call it 'the house' because a) thats not very fun or creative and b) we only occupy the upstairs of the house we live in. So after much deliberation we settled on Honeymoon Palace. Once the first ever episode of Cambodian Cribs airs on the net you will understand why we chose the name. Also Honeymoon (the sweetest 2yr old girl in the world) reigns over the house like a true queen. But I digress... Our local friend Fila took us on a personal tour of 6 different temples. I say personal tour because Fila leads tours of the temples all the time for the tour company Intrepid. You should check them out because they lead some pretty cool trips (request Fila). Fila had his father drive us all around in his Tuk Tuk (Cambodian taxi car attached to a motobike for those who don't know) for the day. Of course, just describing the temples will barely do them justice, but you will have to wait for photos. (for now see google images: <a href="http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&source=imghp&biw=1311&bih=742&q=angkorian+temples&gbv=2&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=">Angkor Watsadeal</a> The temples we visited besides Angkor Wat were Banteay Thom, Angkor Thom, Pre Rup, Ta Prohm (where Tomb Raider was filmed), and Kravan.

The star of our film, T, spots us and sits us down as if we are poster boys for Dr. Fish. Today we showed him and some of his friends the video on the laptop and a travel writer stopped to photograph us mid-massage for his site. T has also been passing around our Wassadeal stickers, so soon every fish massage attendant in town will be wearing them like boy scout badges.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">So, as many of you know we are soon going to be volunteering for an organization called Globalteer - who among other things has been involved with hosting a youth soccer league here in Siem Reap. We will be coaching and training with the kids as much as possible while also helping to run the league in any other way we can help. Although planning/organizing has begun for this years season, we are still a couple weeks away from kickoff - so we have been looking for new ways to spend our time besides filming, playing pickup basketball, and eating everything in sight..</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Enter Scott Coats. We met Scott last week at an expat pool party and exchanged numbers as soon as he explained to us what he does here. Scott spends his summers in Jackson Hole and the rest of his time in Siem Reap building and distributing water filters to rural villages outside of the city. Now keep in mind we have only gotten to spend a day seeing and learning about what Scott does, but with no more than ten people on his staff he welcomed our interest in volunteering for him. On our first day yesterday we got a tour of Scott's workplace as he explained to us the steps involved with creating the filters. I would do my best to explain the process, but an excerpt from Scott's website will do better..</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">"The filtration media consists of a layer of gravel, a layer of course sand, and a layer of fine sand. There is a plastic diffuser plate above the water level to avoid disturbing the naturally occurring bio-layer. It is the bio-layer which holds the key bacteria essential to removing biological pathogens and parasites. Water travels through the layer of biologically active sand and gravel which traps and degrades sediment, parasites and 98% bacteria. Operation and maintenance is simple and within the capabilities of any user. Water poured through the filter processes at a rate of .6 liters per minute, which provides sufficient water fast enough to keep up with a family’s demand for clean water. Each filter can optimally filter 50 to 80 liters of water per day. The bio-sand water filter is made of cement at a total construction cost of approximately $50 USD</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">per filter, including the bio-sand media and a proper storage container. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Community stewards are selected to maintain bio-sand water filters in each village. These stewards are instructed on proper set-up, maintenance and water sanitation education, and pass this knowledge on to village residents using the water filters. It is exciting to see this technology successfully spreading out to the rural areas with the greatest need."</span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">As I said before, we have only spent one day volunteering for Scott but we plan to on several days this week and consistently for the next few months we spend here. On our first day we got to see the final part of the process - getting to drop off five of the 150 lb. cement filters at two different schools about 20 miles out of town. Although we were unable to have any part in explaining to the kids and teachers at the schools about the filters (two khmer guys who came with us did) we helped to move, assemble, and fill the filters as kids climbed all over us. We had lots of fun and were especially delighted to find such a great way to spend our time here. We will also be trained to construct the filters and to dig ninety foot wells - another aspect of Scott's organization 'Trailblazers' - which we are incredibly excited about. Apparently CNN.com has been trying to get Scott to film something about his work so we will certainly be helping with that and bringing some media to the blog as well.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span> </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">We have found leads towards other volunteering opportunities which we will be sure to share soon and we are really enjoying ourselves. It's really hard not to be with the smiling people around this town - and even the pizza is happy in Cambodia. Seriously. (google search: 'happy pizza cambodia')</span></span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />

<br />
We moved into a palace in comparison to our last place of residence (see dead gecko minutes before the rat attack below). We have the second floor of a house with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a living room too big to furnish (were thinking mini soccer goals could be in order..) We live above a family of 6 - Mr Ni, Hoa and their two boys and two girls. We are still working on their names except for their daughter at the bottom of the pictures below - "Honeymoon". There are also enough real and fake cousins around to fill a small stadium. We have a few more purchases to make before our house turns fully into our home but it is something we will not come to take for granted and are certainly all thankful for this holiday.<br />
<br />
We of course are due for quite an update on the past few weeks but they are best summed up by two stories in particular. Last week Jed took us to his friend Rya's farm just outside of the city for what we thought would be a light lunch - just hours after we packed in our standard big breakfast. His house was beautiful, built on stilts creating an indoor/outdoor living room below with several hammocks and a large stone table and chairs. There were babies and animals everywhere the eye could see. I counted 7 dogs, 3 cats, 5 cows, 12 ducks, 120 (yes) quails, and a partridge in a papaya tree. Setup for us on the stone table was a gas grill with a metal top to cook on - shaped like the northern hemisphere of an aluminum globe. "Beef Climbing Mountain" is the exact translation of this Cambodian feast. After starting the grill the first step is to put spoonfuls of butter on top of the grill, letting it bubble and waterfall down each side. Mmmmmmmmmm. Next plates after plates of beef, each with an egg cracked on top, were brought to the table and grilled in front of our eyes. Halfway through the meal we were told there were 12 pounds of beef being cooked for us - 2lbs each that is. If that wasnt going to fill us we could pick at the array of vegetables also being cooked in the butter on the grill or at the plates of grilled quail covered in thai basil. To wash everything down fresh coconuts were brought down from the trees above and machete'ed tableside.<br />
<br />
As explained previously last weekend was the water festival - celebrated around the country saturday to monday. Our family, as we have already come to call them, invited us out to join them riverside for the fireworks and festivities. It took nearly an hour just to find them in the crowds of thousands, but when they did we snapped this photo and had some fun...<br />

We took turns carrying "Honeymoon" and tried our hand at the carnival dart game - I won a bottle of Wrestler, Rice Wine Whiskey (both pictured below) and a box of cookies. We watched people setting off fireworks towards each other on either side of the river, keeping an eye out for stray shots in our direction. Finally the youngsters and Mom and Dad headed home and we were left with our fake cousins and a language barrier. They wanted to dance so we went to the best place for it "HIP-HOP" (pronounced 'heep-hop' of course). Hip-Hop is just outside the city center, towards our neighborhood, and 99.99 percent locals only spot. They don't discriminate at the door of course, only show some surprise upon our entrance. You then walk through 6 sound proof sets of double doors and into a nearly pitch black club - the only lights are black lights and red and green neon signs on the walls in fake graffitti saying english phrases like "BOOM BOOM!, HIP-HOP!, and I LOVE YOU!" We shared a few beers poured into glasses of ice at our table alongside the dance floor and then jumped on nervously. We soon found there was not a damn thing to be nervous about when you have the best rhythm in the entire place. Literally not one person could dance to the beat, so we felt like we were killin it!!! I was bringing out every move I could think of and then some more. I even taught a couple of girls my favorite move - finger pistols on each side of your waist and then just bounce your hips back and forth to the beat - I call it the Sheriff Woody. Dropped em dead of course. Our cousins wanted to stay until the place closed at 3am but we finally convinced them we were falling asleep standing up some time after 2.<br />
<br />
It is friday night our time and we are sorry we are just now giving you this update but we are about to really get things going. We have our newest webisode already shot and our going to finish editing and add a sountrack by this weekend - hope you enjoy. Again, please get on top of the comments folks - we want to know what were doing wrong, right and what you want to see next. Much love and a Happy Thanksgiving to all!<br />
