Yes, I know I just had one in Kampot, but I’m on holiday and, I’m in charge. Just had a few things to decide and arrange. And noticed that the bananas here are different – very yellow:
Today’s bug:
I first knew I’d over-ordered when the gas stove arrived… I keep forgetting the soup here is a real event. So my “light lunch” turned into a full meal (I didn’t eat again for over 6 hours!). Here you’ll see the drill: the soup (which finishes cooking on your table), the plate of rice, the small dipping bowl (on the right) and the dish on the left into which you transfer some of the soup. I’m a pro:
I wasn’t sure what these were, though:
It was delicious. I’d previously stopped at a place recommended by some westerners, but it was expensive and I didn’t want much. The kiwi owner suggested one of their lunch options. And why, for goodness sake, I thought, do I want a cheese and onion pannini (with NZ cheese), when just beyond your shoulder I can see the fishing boats pootling to and fro?
And the view here was great:
And I managed to get some Vietnamese Dong (VND) – and they’re plasticky. Very practical. I would post a photo, but I’m not sure it’ll get it across. I’ll bring some home, instead. Maybe. If I’ve any left 🙂
Hi Sam
Still enjoying your lessons on Asia, you should write a book you know, but now enjoying it by the side of a pool sipping cocktails in Oman so not quite as jealous as I was, sounds like your having a great time, keep educating us all and hope you’ve got rid of of the fishy smell by the time you come home.
