Sleepy Saturday afternoon in Phnom Penh

Sitting in the lobby of my previous hotel using their free wi-fi and sipping on Schweppes Tonic.  Breakfasted today on freshly made coffee - albeit Nestle crystals - not going to invest too heavily in coffee alchemy equipment at this time - orange juice and baguette and cheese - very nice - while Da was at market (loving my hot water kettle - I seem to be obsessed). She returned and made a wonderful lunch of cauliflower and pork sauteed in a delicious gravy substance - over the omnipresent rice was fabulous with just the right amount of fish sauce and peppers - culinary heaven - and for pennies. She tells me she works on Saturday nights - all news to me - she models at a beer garden - as far as I can determine this involves dressing up sexily (by conservative Khmer standards) - makeup - hair done up - bare midriff and posing on stage with the star singer - apparently she sings one song herself - they all watch TV and then repeat then come home - US$15 for 3 hours work - a great pay rate for a Cambodian farm girl - and no customer contact - no drinking she assures me - she wanted me to go along to watch - I will next week - this week it fits perfectly with me getting to watch English football undisturbed.
