Tasty Dog in the Kingdom
Temples, Traffic and Tasty Dogs: A few days in the life of Cambodia

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #29.  Delilah recounts her motorbike trip to Pailin, former Khmer Rouge stronghold, which included a stop in Battambang, as well as a huge number of stops for fixing the motorbike and asking for directions.  She perhaps includes a bit too much of the motorbike health issues but it was rather, oh, consuming for those 3 days.  But you also get a bit about mines, scenery, road conditions (again, not terribly interesting for the listener but consuming!), maps and directions and what hell looks like on top of a mountain in Pailin.

The opening music is another gem from Sen Sisamuth and Pbain Roan, singing tra jiek jet bomnong.  It’s about LOVE, and something about keeping a cool heart when it comes to anger and jealousy.  (yes, I had someone else tell me what the song was about!).  But note the guitar solo at the beginning.  Cool, huh?
