Siem Reap - Phonm Penh Day 5

it was a 5hr plus bus ride to Phomn Penh in a rickety bus with weak airconditioning. seating was also first come first served, & as we were e last few to board, had to sit at the backseat. thank gdness for mo's anti-histamines which we all took. the sedative effects ensured that we were conked out for most of the ride.

the bus made a rest stop. according to mo, who went down to buy food, the locals were selling fried spiders as big as a child's palm. oh & there were 2 ladies in front of us in the bus who were enjoying a delectable meal of fried crickets & rice. i couldnt stop staring in fascination. how? how can one eat bugs & actually look like they're enjoying it?!
