Places

Mekong Notes

A vibrant country

Cambodia is a country where if you look at a person one second too long they smile at you. And that is enough to feel at peace.

Kaoh Trong, the Island of Kings

Kaoh Trong: a 10 km island resting on a sandbank in the middle of the Mekong. Two ancient pagodas, rice fields, banana trees, and pomelos.

Among the Chams no one wants

A small Cham community. Muslim fishermen living on the banks of the Mekong, opposite the glittering Riverside of Phnom Penh.
