ah yes, the food

The food here is tropical and flavorful. We have curry dishes, peppery dishes, and dishes combining fruit and fish. Rice is at every meal uniting the tastes of the other components.

I enjoy the fruit most of all. In addition to mangoes, pineapples, bananas, coconuts, and lychees, one of the delights of Cambodia is the mangosteen. I hadn't heard of it!

You can get all of the fruit easily in the markets, but I prefer to get smoothies fresh from stands in town. You can't beat 25 cents for an amazing fresh dose of tropical fruit.
