Holiday in Cambodia

I wonder if the Dead Kennedys really thought about how expensive a holiday in Cambodia really is? I know, Cambodia is supposed to be a foil for American greed in the song, but I'm not so sure rich people would decided to go there on a whim. My ticket to Cambodia in August is going to be really expensive! (even from Japan, darn peak-season pricing) I'm still planning on going though; I just hope my laptop doesn't short circuit due to excessive amounts of drool while I plan my trip.

This past weekend, I enjoyed the Rikugien Garden in the Komagome neighborhood of Tokyo. It was billed as a traditional Japanese garden dating back to the Edo period. It was a beautiful day, and I figured I better enjoy the sunshine and pleasant temperatures before the rainy season starts soon!

There were a ton of turtles fighting the koi for the bread crumbs a guy was feeding them. It was fun to watch. The big turtles would just push the small ones under (sometimes flipping them on their sides in the water), and the turtles would simply use one of their legs to push the koi under/out of the way if they tried to squeeze in (even though the koi were about twice as big as the turtles). I guess limbs work better than fins in situations like these.

Yet another tiny doorway at the entrance to the gardens. Am I really that tall? I don't think so, but I often feel this way in Japan.
