Cambodia really really spoils us sometimes. Which is a good thing to remember when we're irritated by the heat, or the constant garbage-burning smoke (my arch-nemesis during pregnancy). But we also get to enjoy being outside year-round, eat fresh mangoes for every breakfast, bike wherever we want, bring home loads of cheap vegetables from the market...
...and take sweet weekend trips to the beach. Where staying in a little water-front bungalow is the price of 2 beers at home. Not that we do this often, but since it had been quite a while (2 years in fact) since we'd payed a visit to Cambodia's largest beach town of Sihaounkville, we figured it was time for a trip.
And so the list of benefits of living in Cambodia continues: warm ocean water in mid-February, the best shrimp and squid with fresh green Kampot peppercorns, cheap buses and moto rentals to get you where you need to go, and friendly folks all along the way.
