Cambodia is such a beautiful country. The country has a terrible and touching history wich the people are still suffering from. Their poverty are so obvious, but they are so rich in their way of communicating and giving theire blessing to people around them.
Being nice to tourists are off course a way to get money and tip. But still, it is something about the cambodian people. They have to survive, and they have to trick tourists to get money. But they are greatful in a way that touches you and they are sincere, humble and open to share their life with you.
We decided to stay in Cambodia 3 more days than planned. So day 3 we had a relaxed day by the pool and enjoyed a very nice cambodian meal at Khmer Restaurant. The cuisine is relatively unknown to the world compared to Thailand and Vietnam. The Cambodian cuisine contains tropical fruits, soups and noodle plus they have influence from French cuisine. For example they serve Cambodian red curry with toasted baguette bread. Key ingredients in Cambodian cuisine are kaffir lime, lemon grass, garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, curry, tamarind, ginger, oyster sauce, coconut milk. Also a must have in Cambodia is the Amok-fish, served in Bananaleaves.
For the locals their daily food is rice, noodles, soups, meat or fish. It is cheap. And they can trade between families, rice and fish for example.

Hei Erna og Anja
Hadde litt problemer med å finne dere der ute i cyber-space – men nå har jeg funnet ut av det. Veldig morsomt å følge dere på turen. Dere er to tøffe damer – ikke minst “granny”. Veldig flotte bilder, Anja. De vekker minner om den flotte Asia-tur Erna og jeg hadde for 11 år siden. (- men vi var jo ikke i Kambodsja….)
Ønsker dere lykke til videre på ferden.
