A Temple Across the River, Phnom Penh

One day my friend Kakkada came and picked me up on his motorcycle and took me on the ferry across the river at Phnom Penh. The captain turned out to be kind of a hunk.







The other side was mostly Vietnamese, and had a Vietnamese Catholic church. I convinced Kakkada to come in - it was his first time on the grounds of a Catholic church and he was fascinated. 
We also visited the local temple, where we met the most adorable monk.



I was interested to find a statue of Ganesha on the temple grounds - this is still reasonably rare in Cambodia.




Kakkada, a trained artist, was amused by the murals inside the temples. He was bothered by the fact that the hands were too big.
