Food and football... happy days!

Came back to try and do a Khmer cookery course but its a national holiday this weekend so most stuff is closed. Cambodian food is very good really excellent coconut based curry called "amok" much nicer than the Thai versions! Also do good salads had a very tasty meal yesterday of banana blossom and chicken in a cold salad similar to Lao laap (banana blossom has a sweet mild cabbage flavour/texture)

Had a chance to walk around the waterfront which is really nice and the palace and surrounding wats are striking too. Done little else but watch the footy last night... Hull beat Arsenal and Man United won because one of the worst refereeing decisions ever!

People in SE asia are mental for premiership footy by the way. I've seen loads of games over the last couple of months. Very strange watching English footy on a remote island in the gulf of Thailand.

Anyway, fly to Bangkok in a couple of hours then to Macau on Monday. Should be back in China by Thursday afternoon, really looking forward to it... bring on the tasty aubergine!
