Notes from Cambodia

Motorbikes, water buffalo, landmine legacies, genocide memorials, migration, noodle carts, authenticity & pigs rolled in blankets. Beware the word “authenticity.” Do not trust the restaurant or shop plastering signs and paper printouts with boasts of such a promise. Instead of asking this woman who doesn’t understand you if this is an “authentic Cambodian meal” because you want “something with authenticity,” open your senses.
