When you cross the border from Cambodia into VietNam, the first thing you notice is how green it is. VietNam is a richer country and so can afford to irrigate, and it really needs to--it has a population of 75 versus Cambodia with 10 million. After the dusty dry season in Cambodia our eyes feasted on deep-green well-groomed rice fields. It's less hot too. You see little figures bent over the fields in the classic lampshade hats, just like you picture from seeing the movies. It's beautiful.
