these would be titles of stories I can write about and have collected:
An artist with a penchant for pessimism
A Muslim merchant woman exercising for the sake of her health
A visitor from Vietnam
A young fruit vendor with a fever
New friends and many old friends: Rithy, Nai, Yan, Chhaya, Neath
The generous fruit lady of Siem Reap
A very simple life
Hotel: Beyond Yangon run by Ko Maung Maung
Resto: Pou
Molop Damnak
Massage: Gekko
Night Market: Zyty’s store
Just the ambiance of the city.
No talk of Temples, Museums or artisans, throngs of tourists easily ignored
None of which mattered
