Well, we are just over the border but Vietnam and Cambodia are an amazing contrast. I cant put my finger on why, but its quite palpable. Rules and regulations being more relaxed in this part of the world made for a fantastic high speed boat cruise taking us from one country to the other. Jane, Phillipa and I were on the bow of the speedboat in the open air, having a thrilling trip. A stay at a home in a remote village was hosted by a most gracious lady. She is so elegant, hospitable and petite - and what a cook. Mark, I was riveted watching all the ingredients and methods for spring rolls, prawn and noodles, pumpkin soup Vietnam style and fried fish. Hopefully something will have sunk in and a Vietnamese banquet will result in Drake Street. The project at a local Vietnamese school involved more of Munchkin, dental hygiene colouring and information in Vietnamese and also origami. The only sadness is.....we all miss Rithy....but lead on Tan and Lena.
