Haircut in Cambodia
Gabe was informed that his $1 haircut was “very expensive!” by a local man, which means the $9 that I paid today was downright robbery!
Robbery or not, the “shampoo” was an hour long head/neck/back massage with some soap and water thrown in, I was given complimentary drinks and the haircut was superbly done, especially considering that all communication was done via sign language. Nine dollars well-spent!
Our Vietnam visas have arrived and we will gleefully depart Phnom Penh at 7 a.m. tomorrow. We’re heading to a town called Kratie, which will serve as a stopover before continuing on the next day to Ban Lung, the jump off point for Virachey National Park. This is one of the most unexplored national parks in the world and is impossible to enter without a guide – it should be an adventure! I don’t know what sort of internet access I’ll have there, as there are definitely no ATMs (hope we have enough!), but I will report on it as soon as I can…

Hey A. –
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed actually talking to you yesterday. You sounded great and I do believe it was $9.00 well spent on that haircut. I know you are now headed to a much more remote area; I promise not to worry…to only look forward to your next entry. I love you! Mom
