• Eating green crunchy lotus seeds out of the pod.
• Amok is a local dish. It is a bit curry style with coconut. Very tasty, and, I like the word.
• As this is a diamond country, the Buddhas are encrusted.
• The worst part is Pol Pots Killing Field. There are many more, all around the country. AND, all are documented, like Hitlers group.
• The best part is Angkor Wat. Now that place has a MOAT. Largest religious structure ever built, think on that one.
• AA meeting right around the corner from the hotel, and, on a free night. Cool.
• The Phnom Phen palace has a Disney feeling in the public areas between buildings, could not call the space a garden, only in respect that it is full of very large plant pots.
• Kompong Thom is the temple with the really big heads facing all four directions. My favorite.
• Splendid extensive carvings on temples, so beautiful and intricate.
• Pyramid temples as well.
• Sticky rice cooked on bamboo pieces at road side.
• Plenty of linghams and noni sculptures.
• Karaoke on bus.
• Tall, hollow brick towers at temples.
• Locals told me I danced like one of them, still got it!
• Should not forget the bugs: so many to have for snacks. Tarantulas, black beetles, tiny frogs, cicadas-live or fried, many more. No, I did not partake.
