Need more meat…
They just look dead…
Street sleeper…
Sleeping at the Shwedagon…

 Is that a lizard in your Land Cruiser or are you just happy to see me? Yes! We are back in the Original Land of Sweat ® (a.k.a. Cambodia), and what is one of the first things seen from our hotel balcony the day we arrive? A monitor lizard in a UN Land Cruiser parked in a lot below. I’m not sure the lizard lasted the day in the car in the sun. But as payback, I can’t imagine the smell that a dead carrion-eater leaves in an SUV. As we are back over here, more will be posted soonly.  The calm, geometric scene that greeted me upon exiting a garment factory building while working on a story on Monday. The scenes were different inside. It’s true, I’ve seen a lot of beds lately. A bout of dengue fever left me under the sheets and completely out of commission and mentally lost in Laos for more than a week. I’m still getting over its lingering effects. But that didn’t stop me from joining Karen on a 60-hour reporting trip back to Cambodia, where we have visited a couple of garment factories for a couple of big upcoming stories on Cambodia and labor. What’s it like working with dengue? Really, really sweaty. I think I may have scared our host at the first place. var myQTObject = new QTObject( ‘http://www.63beds.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Squirming-Crabs.mov’, ‘vvq-929-quicktime-1′, ’640′, ’360′); myQTObject.addParam( ‘scale’, ‘aspect’ ); myQTObject.addParam( ‘autoplay’, ‘false’ ); myQTObject.addParam( ‘controller’, ‘true’ ); myQTObject.write(); Video of land crabs (learn more here) squirming in plastic bags taken during a bus stop at the roadside market in Phou Khoun, Laos: View Larger Map . . . → Ramble More: Pointless Photo Monday XXXIII – Wednesday Special: Crabby Video Edition  A moto dop (motorcycle taxi driver) sleeps atop his comfy steed in front of a Korean grocery along Sihanouk Boulevard in Phnom Penh.
