There is no electricity in the part of Kampot province where Sary's family lives but the PA system is a cultural necessity for weddings and funerals, driving a wall of speakers that make conversation impossible. The PA system is run from a truck battery running through an inverter to produce 220 volts output. |

Other kids were playing games behind the house. Notice the outhouse by the fence. |
