Cambodia – Phnom Penh (The Lighter Side)
One of the most (happily?) ironic things about being at the Killing Fields was that outside the wall surrounding the fields – all we heard was children’s laughter. I believe there is a school outside the walls, and that it was recess, because there were children playing and laughing everywhere. A stark but welcome contrast to what was behind the walls.
In Phnom Penh Carly and I had some amazing food. There was a Spanish Tapas restaurant that we found thanks to some recommendations from others called Pacharan. This was without a doubt the best tapas restaurant I have ever been to. The Chorizo was sent straight from heaven above, as was the Sangria and Chocolate Tart for dessert. Not to mention the goat cheese salad and meatballs.
We also dined at another Tapas restaurant (probably the 2nd best Tapas restaurant I’ve ever been to) called Friends, which employs and trains street youth and helps them get off the street and train in a vocation. The food was amazing and the atmosphere and ambience fabulous.
You can also really dine on the cheap, as Carly and I found out when we picked up some fabulous grilled bananas and a few French loaves for about 37 cents.
