Supermarkets are good hunting grounds for discoveries with a local colour. A big one we explored in Siem Reap seemed to be rather more Chinese than Cambodian, but had some nice products for sale. Who can resist the Want Want crackers (they were really tasty!)?
And who is not tempted by the happy pig holding the flag Best and wishing Good Luck to You. As someone who doesn't eat much meat I actually didn't put this product in my shopping basket.
But most people do their shopping in markets or in stalls along the streets.
These young ladies provided excellent laundry service even though it was a bit surprising at first to see one's underwear hanging to dry on the sidewalk.
The outer petals of lotus flowers can be folded - it makes them even more beautiful, I had to touch and check that they were actually real. The ones below were sold in front of a temple, to be used as offerings.
