It's Electric, Boogey Woogey Woogey

I'll try and keep this one short and sweet. On Tuesday night, Shanti and I decided to take a stroll down to the Olympic Stadium (a short walk from our apartment) to check out the swimming pool. We had a little trouble finding our way in to the stadium complex, but once we did, we saw that it was packed. We wandered up an incline leading to the top of the stadium while trying to figure out what was going on. There were absolutely no westerners around. Was it a sporting event? No. Was it a cultural festival? No. It was people line dancing. Yes, line dancing. Thousands of them. We managed to track down a guy that spoke English and he informed us that, on a nightly basis, Cambodians flock to the Olympic Stadium to exercise by way of line dancing. There were groups dancing to hip hop, rock, Cambodian music, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Though the pool looked pretty disgusting (Shanti's probably going to join a health club), I think I'll get my exercise for free and in style. Line dancing style.
