silk island



We visited a traditional weaving village that is about one and a half hours outside of Phnom Penh by boat and one of the women let me have a turn for a while on her machine.  I am attempting to make a traditional Khmer scarf, known here as a kroma.  I asked her how long she thought it would take me to finish and she said 2 weeks... it usually takes her 1 1/2 days... guess I shouldn't quit my day job.

Also, check out my sweet flip flop tan... don't think that will fade for a while!
