06 November<\/p>\n

Today we had arranged to meet Ian (an English photographer living in Phnom Penh) \u00a0I woke to the rain at 1am and I don’t think it stopped. \u00a0Ian text at 6.30am to say he didn’t think we could go ahead but could we defer for an hour or so and he would pop over and chat to us.<\/p>\n

By the time Ian arrived the sky was sitting so low and the rain was coming down stair rod style. \u00a0He had taken a detour on his was to us to look at the railway line he had intended walking with us, Apparently it was knee high and had raw sewerage in it so not advisable to plough through.<\/p>\n

We chatted for a while then Ian left giving us some ideas of things we could do indoors. \u00a0One was to visit the Central market. \u00a0We put on our raincoats and took a Tuktuk to the market. \u00a0The outside stall holders were trying desperatly to shelter from the rain and keep their goods dry. \u00a0Inside was very different. Each stall having a very small space for the owner to stand and the stalls overloaded with their wares. \u00a0It wasn’t long before the haggling started, “Madam, you want silk scarf? Lovely silk, made in Cambodia” Same story from every stall we passed.<\/p>\n

What amazed me was the working conditions they were working in. Just enough space to sit on the floor or to stand up. \u00a0Most stall holders looked bored stiff and just sat playing on their phones. They worked very long hours in such cramped conditions.<\/p>\n

Still the rain came down so back to the hotel. And Paul took photographs!<\/p>\n
