EVENING MEAL AT THE FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club) restaurant in Phnom Penh. The Phnom Visitors Guide said, “This is the famous FCC – still as much a journalist’s meeting place as a popular tourist/expat bar and restaurant. Located on the second floor of a beautiful old colonial-era building, the FCC’s open balcony provides a spectacular, sweeping view of the riverfront. …….. No visit to Phnom Penh is complete without at least one visit to the FCC.” So of course last evening I decided to check it out! 🙂 I decided on the grilled Norwegian Salmon Fillet. It was as delicious as the Salmon I ate in Chicago, San Diego, and the one my brother-in-law caught and brought to Florida to be grilled! I finished off the evening by sitting down with a mango milkshake, while I wrote some postcards to send to friends.

WE ATTENDED A CRAFT BAZAAR ORGANIZED BY PROKRITI AND MCC. They had me wear a “funny” robe and scarf on my head. Then I played this hand drum like thing. Of course I got everyone’s attention. I think they have it on hand to have some fun at the Bazaar Someone commented that they now saw Austin’s Dad (me) acts just like Austin. I wonder who learned it from who! 🙂 I wondered later if I didn’t even have the robe on backwards! This was the first of hopefully many more monthly bazaars. Many organizations brought items from many Bangladesh artisans for sale. There also was North End Roasters coffee available. Afterward we went to the A & W restaurant. A & W root beer is one of Alice’s favorite soft drink. Myron got some Movenpick ice cream which he thoroughly enjoyed. We ate the evening meal at Midnight Sun, a Chinese restaurant. For dessert we ordered ice cream. At least today Myron had ice cream two times, instead of his normal three times a day when he is on vacation! Oh, Michelle this post and photo is especially for you! 🙂
Here I am at the Fair Trade Craft Bazaar
