Many of you know I travel to Cambodia yearly (except for the one yr I tio kangtao lost my passport in vietnam and got deported back to Singapore) to visit my friends there and run some errands. The country has a special place in my heart - from the connectedness I have with the families at the village (who are all grown up now), the unfortunate history of genocide, the Khmer language which is like music to my ears, to the iced coffee and beef noodle stalls at the Russian Market. This time, I had the company of Teh and his 2 zany friends. We spent some time at the village (Teh exclaimed it was worse than in army!?!?!) and made some jasmine sticks (see pic below) in return for our accommodation. Teh claimed to have made the most perfect piece of jasmine stick for a**l.
Simple fare at the village.
My friend, R and the jasmine sticks! not easy ok!
Breakkie at BB World while waiting for Teh and his friends to arrive at PP.
Meat Meat and more Meat!

Bodia Spa
pampered myself on the last day when I was alone
(Teh and friends went on to Siem Reap)
I want this water feature in my future home!
This is the story of a USD 4.50 meal. I gave USD 20 and walked away without getting the change. The next morning I went back, it was not opened for business yet, and I had to catch the plane back.
