Markets Everywhere!!

Yesss!! I love the markets here. There are so lively and are never ending fun! I am not so interested in seeing all the temples around Phnom Penh, but am hitting all the markets. I wish we had some sort of Western equivalent because I am going to really miss these when I go home. Each market has a different character to it. It is so fun to just wander around the stalls and look at all the things people are selling, and watch the people go about their daily market business.
Stuff:
-Cambodia apparently is where alot of designer brand clothes are made. There heaps of designer clothing from Gap, Old Navy, Burburry, Nike, Adidas, Abercrombie, American Eagle, Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren, and many more. Phnom Penh would definetally be the place to designer brand shop if you wanted to go to a place for purely shopping purposes. It is fun to wander these designer stall and see how much things cost... usually a dollar or so for a Burburry or Lacoste shirt. I laugh to think how much all these would cost at home, maybe 100 times the price.
Food:
The best parts of the markets in my opinion, are the food areas. I love looking at everything!! Some cool stuff in the markets:
-Fish. All varieties of fish, still swimming about. Women scraping scales off the dead ones with their knives.
-meat. Oh man, all kinds of meat I don't even know. Hooves, intestines, legs, brains, tongue.
-Sea food. the seafood areas are fun to walk through because most of the stuff is still alive. The children of the seafood stall owners try to scare each other by sticking live crabs in each other's faces.
-Food stall. The food areas are really fun. There are so many interesting foods in Cambodia! Alot of varieties of noodle soups, porridges, meat stuffs, spicy salads, and things I couldn't even name. It is also fn to walk to through and see so many people enjoying their food so much. Women walk through the the lanes with big woven trays of foods ballanced on their heads.
