RE: Cambodia Day 4: Sticky Rice Cakes, Handmade Cambodian Donuts, and Floating Village Tour!

in #travel6 years ago

I think I had something similar to the sticky rice cake once. It was good but tasted so...very different to what I was expecting that it took me a little while to convince myself that it really was good!

Looks like you're feeling better from your cold.

The houses up on stilts are amazing! I'm trying to imagine how mothers keep their toddlers from taking a lot of nasty tumbles during low water time. You said to school was for kids up to 7 - what age do they start?

Sort:  

Yeah, we were really expecting something more sweet. But it was just sweet enough to bring out the taste of the rice and beans. Nice little treat.

I'm really trying not to jinx myself, but today I haven't coughed much at all. I hope this is the end of it!!

I can't remember what age they start. But after they finish here, they go on to other schools in the city if they can afford it. Most of the kids don't even continue education and instead begin fishing with their parents... at a really young age. We saw a lot of kids working hard with their parents. The kind of work I've never seen an American kid do lol.
