[0] storefront lecture [1] 2 MB [2] 
A storefront lecture: but on what topic? Political harrangue, sermon, or language lesson? My cryptic scribbled note says simply 'storefront ritual,' and my otherwise detailed travel journal is silent on the matter  I was in a hurry to record my impressions of later that day, when I recorded a twenty-minute track listed above as 'phantasmagoric Battambang.' In any event English lessons were to be had everywhere: I felt bemused, as I did years before passing a building full of schoolchildren in Vietnam reciting the English alphabet.
