Images of a Cambodian 4th of July (party at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh)

Doing it up right: a whole pig on the spit.

U.S. Marine Corps color guard.

The guy in a red polo on the stage is the U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, Joseph Mussomeli.

Sweet cake (but gross frosting).

The 7th Fleet Band kept things lively and fun all evening.

They really knew how to work a crowd.

The all-American hot dog eating contest!

And what's an American gathering without a dunking booth (or some version thereof)?

Posing with a Bud.

Showing off our American beer.

The tent had thousands of red, white, and blue stars dangling from the ceiling; it was quite pretty.

The lead singer joined in the Conga line.

Tropical patriotism.

It's hard to see, but if you look closely, the little black things hanging from the tree are giant bats.
