Inside they put the green bean which mill the skin away that look a bit yellow. The first layer they put the sticky rice and then green bean and the last one pork from oil or meat. The pork, they mix it with the pepper and a little bit salt.

Way of Carrying

In Cambodia, For about 75 percent of the population is Farmer. Because the profile of land is usable for rice in most the whole country. The style of land is similar to the frying pot, so that is really priority for the people to develop the irrigation system for supplying to the rice field. In the old generation farmer use only the animals or manual labor to carry or transport the products. It a bit hard for them and they need to spend much power to do it. Before farmer prefer to grow the rice with plating, it spend a lot of labor and time.  And now they prefer to grow rice with throwing directly to the ground. In the rice field there are the dam to identify the belong of the field. So they can walk on and carry thing to reach their own field. Some rice field is really far away from the road and they need to walk or carry thing for long hours to get to their destination. Farmer in Cambodia is not easy as other country.

Labor is the most need in poor country. The experience of many civil war and international war, the whole country was destroyed building, religion, education and many precious culture. People had lived in suffering from one generation to one generation, it is hard for them to keep life to alive. After the war finished it had remained the widow, orphan and cripple living. It definitely hard to develop the country with less educated people. Less education is the most difficult thing to do all every where. People don't understand much about what the leader want to do to develop the country they don't follow at all.
