Running "Amok"

Just had a delicious lunch - some veggie dumplings and "amok," fish steamed in banana leaves in a coconut-based curry. It cost me about $6.75, which is expensive by Cambodian standards but still a bargain, right? Very satisfying on all levels. After lunch I browsed online and came across an article about Cambodia's emerging middle class. More satisfaction. Until I read down. Though the local economy is improving, around 75 percent of the population live on under $3 per day. The new "middle class," people who spend more than $4 per day, account for just 10 percent of the population. So my lovely dumplings and amok were like two or three days pay for someone here, which in U.S. terms would be a $500-$1,000 lunch. Damn you, World Bank, for dampening my post-lunch happy coma.
