In a hurry and without thinking I took a picture of all of them at once, breaking a Khmer rule, and potentially endangering one of the children.

Many Cambodians believe that the middle person in a group of three will suffer bad luck in some form; some believe that they will die.

About This Blog

This blog is a place where I describe my encounters with the natural beauty of Cambodia. Most often that means writing about and posting photos of scenes of exceptional interest, both physically and culturally, most off the main tourist tracks. Inevitably, that also means that I write about encounters with the remnants of Pre-Angkor and Angkor era culture and Cambodians met on the way!

Six Inter-Linked Blogs

This blog is connected to five other blogs. Each one focuses on a different aspect of Cambodia: its language, its wild flowering trees, its gemstones and gem mines, its endangered trees, the remote temples. Inter-linking makes it easy to travel between them.

These stories and You

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to

It's true ...

The Story
