I'm freer than you can imagine."
Slow-walking and dancing along the river in Siem Reap, reflecting on my time in Southeast Asia. Psychologically, financially, spiritually, logistically, really free to take my time. People don't understand the personal freedom I also possess. And that's even more freeing.

Freer Than You Can Imagine

And now I slow-walk and dance along the river in Siem Reap, reflecting on my time in Southeast Asia.

Morning landscape between Angkor Thom and Phnom Bakheng

Access to bike tracks and easy rentals of sturdy, modern mountain bikes is another quality and healthy option to explore Angkor.

Early trips often gives the most exciting options regarding light and colours. And of course not too crowded sites.

An added experience is to see and meet how locals live and make use of the cultural landscape bordering the archaeological marvels of the Angkor Park.

As always, travel with care and respect our common cultural world heritage. And the privacy and dignity of the locals.

A day at the aqua fish farm ponds

Inland aquafarms is one of the newer entrepreneurial efforts to use the land and water resources in Cambodia. The goal is to extend access to aqua based protein and quality farmed fish.

Classic Khmer food resource
Fish and seafood are the main sources of animal protein in classic Khmer cuisine. Access to an everlasting supply of fish, crayfish and shellfish was traditionally coming from the large waterways. The Mekong river complex, the Tonlé Sap and Tonlé Sap river and the coastal regions.

Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. And among the richest and biological most diverse sources for water based protein and other food produce in the world.

A source for an empire
With regional pressure and increasingly utilisation of these resources, modern technology like aquafarming is a way of keeping the flow of traditional food and nutrients at an acceptable level.

The nutritional benefits of eating a lot of fish and crayfish/shellfish is well known for health and human development. And there should be no surprises in an empire fed by healthy food, should be able to build art and architecture for the ages. Leaving a unique world cultural heritage for us all.

In addition to rich flavours and quality of produce, there are several good healthy reasons to enjoy Cambodian food. And drinks.
