Gross things in Cambodia

While I was in Cambodia I noticed there are millions of puddles in the streets of Phnom Phen. My uncle told me that not all the puddles are water but most of them are urine puddles. You see most people there don't go to a bathroom they just go where ever they want to. So you don't go walking through the puddles there.
Another interesting thing there is a restaurant that my cousin Kamryn loves to go to. It is called the Snake House. They have tons of snakes there. The tables are made glasses and you look down into a pit of snakes. I got to see a Malayan Pit Viper, which was cool. This snake has a quick bite and the venom can kill you. The good news about the Snake House is that they had cheeseburgers, which is what I ate of course. We also saw a lizard eating a mouse right behind us. My grammy didn't care for this restaurant too much, but I liked it.
Also another thing that I saw was that in the markets there was jars and carts full of edible bugs that you can eat. This included locust, beetles and crickets. A lot of the people there like them but I wasn't brave enough to try them. My uncle has tried them but didn't care for them very much.
Even though there are some gross things about Cambodia I really had a great time and hope to go back someday.
