Raymond Leos Funeral
Last Friday, Dr. Raymond Leos, vice president of American University of Phnom Penh, died suddenly. Today at the school there was a funeral service in English. Tomorrow there will be a Buddhist ceremony at the pagoda. Raymond was a member of our Sunday English Catholic Community.
Another first
It’s not unusual to see something new and different in Cambodia, something that isn’t so common in other places.
Morning Ritual
Every morning, starting about 6:00 AM, this woman steams a little dumpling-like concoction on a charcoal burner on the sidewalk.
And the customers come!
This little piggy….
If you’re thinking about lunch, Street 143 might be able to help.
Country Development
Cambodia has been a least developed country but the government is pushing aggressively now to move the kingdom into the moderately developed category.
There is progress but there is still a long way to go. The GDP of the United States is $85, 370 per capita. Cambodia’s GDP is $1,553 per capita although it is expected to jump significantly in 2025.
Moving Time–Truck it
Today I moved all my stuff from Street 410, from the Maryknoll office building which we are closing, to a flat in the Boeung Tum Pun area. I had way too much stuff that had to be moved but our small crew got it moved within five hours. Now it is going to take WAY more time than that to sort it all out and find a new place for it in my new home.
