A day with Steve - wandering Phnom Penh

Steve is widely travelled.  However, he's a big picture guy. Nuance would not be his middle name. So, understandably, there are only so many temples and markets one can expect to hold his attention. 

We stopped at the very elegant Raffles, which immediately transports you back to Colonial days.  Jackie O stopped here in 1967, where she made the pink tinged Femme Fatale cocktail at the Elephant Bar famous.  Her lipstick stained glass and a number of wonderful photos memorialize the visit. 

                             

   

Back to the center of town, Steve rested while the rest of us traipsed through yet another market. As his reward for a long HOT day, and in preparation for the evening event with his HBS students' clients, Steve got a "proper shave".

                            

The length and size of that recently sharpened blade made the rest of us cringe, but this is how the Cambodians do it - open air and street side.  Now Steve has both a Cambodian and a Cuban barber. Even with all the extras, it's a long way from Boston, so I don't think they are too worried on Newbury Street.
