First, I do plan on blogging about Thailand and Cambodia and I did figure out how to post vertical pictures, BUT blogger is having technical difficulties with uploading pictures, so here is an anecdote that has no pictures...
Last night (around 10:30pm), as Jerry and I were walking home from a restaurant, we heard some loud talking/chanting. We turned to see where it was coming from and saw that it was coming from a group of young men in the distance walking in the street in the same direction we were going. (We were on the sidewalk)
As they got closer, we could see them carrying something.
Well, they were carrying a bed.
And do you know what was on the bed? A DEAD BODY!!!
We tried keeping up with them to take a picture, but they broke into a run, still carrying the bed with the dead body on it. After a little while they stopped, put the bed down in the street and started more chanting and throwing of flower petals. By this time we had caught up and I could see the body - a man - clothed in white with a white flower arrangement on top of him. I had already decided not to take a picture out of respect and just watched. It was surreal.
