Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, Cambodia: A Cambodian who thinks eating snakes is "crazy"

I took a 5 hour bus from Phnom Penh to Siem reap last Wednesday.  A Cambodian girl sat next to me.  She was in Phnom Penh to meet her family who was traveling in Cambodia from Australia.  We talked a bit about food.  She told me she doesn't eat snake or insects or any other "crazy" food like that.  It reminds me of a joke I heard.  A man from the UK told me how when he was traveling in Kuala Lumpur, a group of locals told him eat the eye of the fish.  He said he told them, "Why don't you eat this one and I'll eat the next one."  Then they told him, "Oh, we don't eat the fish eye".



I took a tuk-tuk to my hostel, Garden Villa.  Red sand flies up in the air and I really wish I had a mask like the locals wear.
