Went to a restaurant called Peace cafe and had me some borbor which is a staple Khmer breakfast food. It's soup with a mixture of a variety of items but mainly rice, lemongrass, ginger, vegetables and usually meat. There was, what I assumed to be some kind of meat in my bowl which I avoided but come to think of it, the place was vegan so I think I was just begin paranoid. This version also had squash in it which complimented the lemongrass flavour quite well. The cafe also teaches free Khmer lessons on the weekends so I'll definitely be going back to hone my Khmer - I only know how to say two things; thank you and how are you. I keep forgetting how to say sorry even though I've been told many times - hmmm I wonder if this implies something...?
Can't eat alone without my journal and Cambodia book - i'm such a tourist
I looked up and this is what I saw: ahhhhhhh:)
Then the wonderful tuk tuk driver, Savvy took me over to the supermarket where I bought milk and instant coffee - my daily need for caffeine has not been met lately so I thought I'd get my own stash.
Shopping: I was in desperate need of light fabric clothing so I purchased two pairs of 3/4 linen pants, a T-shirt that says Cambodia on it and a headband all for 16 dollars! It was hard not to buy more.
