This is Nita,the daughter of our landlord.She became Danny's best friend and occupies herself for hours with him,teach him English and Khmer.She is also the one who helps Daniel frequently with his homework.
Nita is one of the three kids of Mr.Sonputh,his nice wife Poh owns all the property formally.
The other two girls of Mr.Sonputh are 10 and 20 years old.The younger one Bome likes to draw paintings and play computergames toghether with Daniel.So he's busy there all day long.
Poh said it'S totally common here to share the food with the neighborhood.Because of that it's normal that the both get invited for lunch and homemade snacks on a daily bases.This way Michaela and i learned to prepare a few cambodian dishes like this one:
Fresh fish get dried for 3 hours in the sun until he get flavoured with pepper,salt and lemon.Now the fish goes in the pan for a few minutes.After the fish cooled down it tastes great and is crispy like potato chips-awesome.
The Cambodians in general are very nice people.Their friendlyness,hospitality and their honest interest in our person ofter moves us quite a bit.We are really in loves with this country.You can'T count all the friendly smiles you get here in a single day.
