I'm off to visit DDD's office in the Battambang Province, famous for its rice and malaria. Thanks to a French-Khmer co-worker, I have a camera, and will hopefully be posting pictures.
This weekend, I will make way to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat, the largest religious site in the world.
In many ways, Angkor Wat is the birthplace of DDD. More on this later.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
