Kampot village and market - Cambodia



KAMPOT MARKET


This market had a huge number of different types of fish


Rice - it is almost all white rice as brown rice doesn't keep as well in the hot and humid climate

Fish sauce, grains and garlic


Woman selling bananas - she also has the flesh of Durian fruit in her takeaway container

Durian fruit - large, sculptural with a thorn covered husk. they grow to 12"long to 6" in diameter.  They are very smelly but apparently taste good.

KAMPOT - shops and houses, French Colonial architecture.
I particularly liked the sign 'Empowering your liveliness' (sounds like a good idea!).   Also the amusing 'Broken  English spoken perfectly'!
 





 
 
 
 
 




 
 

Cambodia - Kampot pepper plantation

Kampot- pepper plantation
 
I had no idea that pepper grows like this. It's commonly supported by wooden poles but can have brick supports.   Pepper corns are green, red and black and wonderfully aromatic when ground.
