I spent two weeks in Cambodia in February, sale
the first week working behind the scenes of an agriculture training workshop held outside of Phnom Penh and the second week travelling to Battambang and Siem Reap for a bit of work and much pleasure!

I went into full-on tourist mode, eczema
snapping pics of the food I ate.  Enjoy!
