As you know San has been the greatest help to me. She works for my landlord (whose name I may never know) and she speaks English. As usual she says very badly but if I can speak Khmer half as well by the time I leave I will be happy. For the last few days she has been bringing me Cambodian food to try, this morning it was a rice cake, Cha-ck-roc-han (everything she gives me she teaches me the word). It looked sweet and pink but actually it was fabulous and I if you visit you should try it, but maybe for afternoon tea!! To see another of her treats look at photographs - sweet corn with a coconut sauce.

Yesterday I discovered opening bank accounts is not easy when you can't give an address but I managed (with a bit of help from Bunthorn) and I am now the proud owner of 2!!
