And maybe also the food you eat...
Eitan and Tommy
Amazing Chinese dinner. Why we Americanized this already fabulous cuisine into the Kung Pao chicken and chop suey we consider Chinese food today is beyond me.
Inari and Malu
Zhengyu!

Always helpful, hilarious and with never ending supplies of food for me to try, my Khmer co workers at iDE made the stay here truly special.

Always laughing!
Last but surely not least, lunch with these ladies. I've been sharing lunch with a group of my female co workers for at least half my trip here. The willingness to try their food, and the friendships that grew from that simple act, gave me more insight into the Khmer culture than any museum or visit to a Wat could have. These women made Cambodia feel like home. I hope very much that I can one day return the favor.
