Eating into a country

You get to know a country by eating its food. At least that's my conviction nowadays. When I try to remember today's events, the vastly greatest amount of time seems to have been 'çonsumed' by eating. starting with rice soup in the morning, via some fried vegetables with egg and chili at the so called 'russian market' (not that you could find any russians there), many many sweet little baked sweets and fruits and ending with some wonderful veetarian noodle dish in the evening in a green oasis of a restaurant. - I have to admit, that last one was rather some tourist/upperclass food, but also the food from the many little street vendors is great - Besides, buying edibles is also a great opportunity to employ what little khmer we have learned already (which can also earn you a not-so-tourist-discount).
In the 'freetime' (i.e. the time, I didn't spent eating), I walked a great lot around the city, gathering some wonderfully diverse impressions of life in the markets and streets. We (i.e. some other volunteers and me) also visited the so-called Olympia stadium, where in the afternoon the Khmer (the Cambodians) enjoy themselves doing Aerobics (in the early evening there are lots and lots of people to be found on the squares of town as well with the same hobby). Tomorrow we will likely return there to do some swimming.
At this point I would already like to apologies for not having sent (nor made) any pictures yet. I will probaly start doing so tomorrow or the day after (I don't give any promises). My main reason is, that I first want to get to know the place for myself without a lense in front of my eye and with the possibility to then take some really good, non-tourist pictures (although I doubt to succeed). I hope all you readers are having a great time, wherever you may be.
