Vietnamese pho was a perfect post-jog breakfast, and this Cambodian rice porridge set me up nicely for a day in the field with community members! I've become more used to eating general food for breakfast rather than English / European / western style breakfasts and I'm quite happy eating a spicy breakfast... although on Sunday, our last morning in Battambang, I had a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon and capers which was pretty darn exciting! If I crave a western breakfast the fantasy meal usually involves smoked salmon!
On Saturday we held a community workshop in one of the nearby villages. It was a great chance to see the countryside, the paddy fields, the irrigation streams and government made canals. I also enjoyed the chance to see some of the different housing styles, especially the houses that are up on stilts to deal with the seasonal flooding. Underneath the house is used for storage and living (cooking, sleeping in hammocks etc) and sometimes keeping the animals while the main rooms are upstairs.
And just to finish on another food picture... dinner one evening in a restaurant filled with orchids.
