Around the FCC
The Foreign Correspondents Club (FCC) is located in Phnom Penh city. From what I can see, it's basically a restaurant with a couple of foreigners typing away on their laptops. I guess, as with most press clubs, it's what's happening outside that is more interesting.
There's a guard posted outside the FCC like most other places frequented by foreigners. Overall, I felt really safe in Cambodia although I had been advised against wandering at night without a guide. I had heard a lot of stories of robberies and other gun-related crimes. But these were just hearsay. Still, I thank God for keeping me out of harm's way.
Behind the FCC was a little alley where the 2 kids were just milling about. There are many kids out on their own and many others were working.
This boy was part of a group of children walking the streets selling cigarettes and candies in their baskets.
This little girl took the opportunity to take a shower while working to water the plants. Her parents were nearby.

funny to see the people from afar melting in the heat. somehow parallels the distant empathy from never knowing what it's like to be them.
