Cambodian Halloween

It's the weekend before Halloween and all the Westerners in Siem Reap are in full celebration mode! Roxana, another volunteer teacher from Mexico, and I decided to go out and embrace our beloved North American tradition. The night started out with a pit stop to buy some light-up devil horns for make-shift costumes (which most Cambodians seemed to think were either cow or water buffalo horns, more relate-able here I guess!) and then it went something like this...

Trying the famous fish massage, drink in hand!

Definitely screamed when I first put my feet in

They eat dead skin off your feet... it tickles!

Our fish massage friend

Then this guy showed up and scared the crap out of me

One baaad Cambodian

My not-so-intimidating face

Ridiculously creepy clown

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
