Last night, on the way back from sunset at Phnom Bakheng, Sey offered to drive us for free to and from dinner as a thank you for hiring him for two days. We asked him to take us to a real Khmer restaurant where locals eat. He agreed. Something, however, was obviously lost in translation because he proceeded to take us to by far the most touristy setting you could imagine (which is not how we are going about this trip). Think super Hawaiian luau buffet on steroids. We didn't want to offend his choice, so we made the best of it. It was his only miss over the two days.
After the tourist buffet, we needed to wash that experience out of our minds and salvage our Thanksgiving. Nothing can turn a bad night around quite like a couple of scoops of ice cream.
Thanksgiving 2009 will be a memorable one.
