Kampong Cham is one of the most highly-populated provinces in Cambodia and most likely the province with the most fertile land as well. The soil is mostly red in colour.

In reply to Dave.

@Dave: Good lowlight lens– yes. That and a wide one!
Scent memory is a good intuit talent to have. I’m not sure about wet markets, but European markets definitely trigger the memory of cheese for me too. Malay markets… aren’t as distinct to me but it could be I closed my nose on account there was a lot of meat. =)

I completely agree that you can get a good idea of the country just by visiting the markets. There is something special and unique, however, about the South East Asian Markets!

I’ve got this thing whereby I notice similar smells in markets around the world.

Philippines markets have a heavy Durian smell from the popularity of the fruit.

European wet markets smell of herbs and sometimes cheese depending on them.

Malaysian markets have the same meat smell of west African markets but not the same fish or chicken. Very unique.

Now if only to find a good lowlight lens to capture everything!

@christine yes we will cycle through Asia as well. I just remember my first french market in a Pakistani neighborhood of Paris. It was so much fun. My boyfried Roberto comes from Mexico and they thought he looked like a Pakistani himself so they tried to sell him a lot of stuff and we did not understand a word. But at least we knew all the ingrediences. In Mexico there are plenty of fruits offered that I have never seen before and here in Georgia we found the so-called Dry-Bridge-Market where they sell old soviet stuff, used trash cans, second hand belts, vases, spoons, army utensil, arts, a lot of things that travellers can unfortunately not carry. I am curious on getting to know the Tbilisi Green Markets as well!
How long will you stay in SEA? It will probably take us quite a while to get there but maybe we will meet one day? Then you can explain me the cultural details on those markets 🙂
