Heard this story, NPR : Tonle Sap: The Flowing Heart of Cambodia, on NPR this morning and it reminded me of my first trip to Cambodia. Just randomly I was in Phnom Phen for the water festival and saw all the boat races they talk about. The streets were festive but there was also a tension as well, which played out when Hun Sen launched his coup to oust his co-Prime Minister. But back at the guest house I was staying at, the owner gave us all an impromptu lesson on the Khmer custom of trying to shove as much uncooked sticky rice in your mouth and then eating a banana?!?
