It seemed apt. We've cantered through Cambodia as if in some comic strip. The fields have been saturated green, the palaces gilded with gold, the skies translucent blue. People have smiled just a little too much, echoes of the Truman Show. Animals in the meadows have looked a touch touched up. The food was sublime, pre food-poisoning; menacing thereafter.
Yes, Cambodia is a curious spot. If Tintin and Snowy had come bounding around the corner of the Silver Pagoda with a battalion of sticky rice pots in hot pursuit, I'd not have been too surprised.
