We drove to a market where people sell fried insects,  including arachnids, crickets, and beetles. There is a lot of seasoning and they're fried so not much insect taste. Apparently in the Khmer Rouge times, when there was no food,  people ate them to live.

Covid 

Vietnam population 100 million deaths 50,000

Canbodia population 16 million deaths 10,000

USA population 340 million deaths 1,004,000

Then a 30 km cycle. Shops sell petrol by the liter in glass soda bottles. It may be diluted. Many cattle. Then avisit to, wait for it, a temple. The biggest in the area.
