Thanks for these posts, it's sobering these days to be reminded that other countries have and have had their problems with war as well.

By area Cambodia is the most bombed country in the world. That happened during the Vietnam War.
Then Pol Pot took over at murdered IIRC a quarter of the population in some insane Maoist interpretation of going to basics.
Until Vietnam invaded and ousted Pol Pot.

Landmines is a huge problem in Cambodia! With people, as well as wildlife and domesticated animals falling victims to mines, and still do now 40 years later.

Perhaps more royals should adopt the approach of serving bugs to journalists?

Now, how are you going to cover this trip? BTW I'm considering cooking some local delicacies for you journalists tonight...
?

Anyway, our man in Cambodia, the Ulrik Ulriksen, seems to have genuinely enjoyed the grasshoppers.
