Leftovers

- In Laos Erin took money out of the ATM. 700,000 Kip.  It then flashed a message. No available kip in your account. We started to freak out, thinking she had drained her who bank account getting out kip. We had no idea how much 700,000 kip was. After running around to banks and talking to people.....of course there was no kip in her account. We have a BHAT account. Silly girls. overreaction moment. It was only about 3,000 BHAT which close to 100 dollars. So we all took cash out. We all got the message. Wheeeew. 1st timers.

- In Cambodia, the penthouse we rented....I was taking a nice hot shower. The power went out. Blackout. I screamed...very loud. The water went cold. I just stood in the shower made sure the door was locked. Waiting for a horror movie to begin. I could hear the voices asking if i was ok....as soon as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. I did what any normal, not scared person would do. Finished shaving my legs and washed the conditioner out of my hair. Gave a shout out to my friends to make sure they were not part of a crime scene then pranced out to Mike, Zach, and Danni sitting by candle light. I was so fresh and so clean. Power was on like 10 min later.

-There are corn ladies every where. We have 3 types of corn sold on the side of streets or out of bike baskets. We have steamed corn and roasted corn and corn with something green all over it...I missed the chance to try that kind. Whenever I see a corn lady I bargain for an ear...it's a nice little snack!

-One night in Cambodia I went to have Rachel time. Good thing too because the people that ran the guest house invited Mike and Zach to join them for a drink and a snack. The snack. DOG MEAT. I swear. I would not be surprised if some of the "beef" I have eaten is not really a cow......

-At Angkor Wat there were monkeys everywhere! Wild ones.

-Cambodia's ice cream sandwich. A loaf of bread with ice cream in the middle.

-There is laughing cow cheese everywhere.....a little bummed out they don't sell the light kind!  Also learned that does not need to be kept cold....out in the heat of the day!

-Just so you know ice cream flavored oreos are gross. They have a purple inside.The strawberry oreos.....those are safe. We got them on a bus ride as a free snack, never would I have thought pink oreos would be delicious.

- Baby powder works for everything. Smoky clothes, sweaty...uh sweaty anything and everything
