They do taste a bit like chicken. The curried stuffing was pretty good too, once we figured out it wasn't innards.

This was another good street food meal from Cambodia.







The lady who was helping to run the stand was my age which meant when she was 10 the Khmer Rouge grabbed the family from the city, killed a good portion of the men, and put her and the rest to work in the paddy fields for a bowl of gruel a day.

Wasn't making a big deal of it, kind of matter of fact.

The elephant/bike stuff/ ak47 / adventure stuff /great sites to see , all terrific - all great stuff .
Everyone should go through your experiences and realize what you already know about people , that most people are good and the fact that you over came your fears that most people have about such a trip - no plans - by yourself and you went anyway where most people wouldn't . You over came your irrational fears - A+ in my books

Get any bulleyes with the ak47 ?

Thanks, but no bullseyes. Interestingly it actually jammed a couple of times, something I thought AK's never did.

Yes , they have low tolerances , not like a m16 where you sneeze at it and it can jam in the desert .
The ak 47 doesn't have a fancy scope , more a close range weapon really imo , so it doesn't surprise me when you didn't get any bullseyes .
 It's just a really fun gun . - buddy has 17 different guns , the ak was my favorite . you can interchange parts no matter what country makes them and will fit no problem .
