Ride to the South

Canadian News
Just in case their becomes a word about a Canadian that dies on the news, it is not me. The Canadian owner of the Lazy Lounge restaurant died as a result of a moto accident a couple days ago.

Dirt Bike Ride

So again I took off with Marcel to the south of the city limits. We were on the highway to Vietnam, about 140km from the border. The scenery was beautiful and very different than the to the north of the city. There were interesting villages to explore and the traditional methods of farming...especially the watering of the fields by hand! We ended up driving through this tiny village and turned a corner and in a blink of an eye, the Tiger and Angkor Beer brewery took over the landscape. We then ventured to the other side of the highway and rode along the river road, passing village to village. Then, the most amazing sound I have ever experienced. The scarfs and shawls that locals wear are made in the underneath of wooden homes and we stood on the road among these homes. The sound was like a continuous wave of heavy machinery with almost antique systems to make these tightly woven scarfs. It is a sound so unique and rare. The rest of the tour was enjoyable, taking in the beauty of this part of Cambodia.

Dinner on Mats
Rainwater Cambodia took me out for dinner where one is served along the river. We sat on mats and ate some delicious cuisine of rice, chicken, lettuce, and incredible dipping sauce. I'm sure I will pay for it in a couple of days, but it was worth it. I also discovered another cuisine to match the spiders (soon I will try...soon) - the fertilized duck eggs. Stef, I will save the details to myself. I for sure lost my appetite with this one. Do we have in Canada?
