Glimpse into the life in rural Cambodia

Loved the experience in the village as it gave us insight to what life was like for the every day Cambodian. Making rice noodles was highlight. Homemade is truly tastier! Mr Bun was so articulate and patient and answered every one of our questions. A must do to get a glimpse of what real Cambodia and the future of the nation.
