Something similar is happening in the north of California, where Sonoma County and the city of Healdsburg is being hailed as the new Napa Valley. 'The little city, 65 miles north of San Francisco, is the secret darling of American foodies,' writes Sybil Kapoor in her piece on Healdsburg and SingleThread, the most hotly anticipated restaurant opening in the USA in recent years. Unlike Napa, its flourishing food scene is all about the farm-to-table ethos, where left-leaning artisans and smart San Franciscans champion the small and slow and the idea of living off the land. New direct British Airways flights from London to Sacramento are opening up this region of northern California for a whole new generation of Brits yearning to wear flowers in their hair, 50 years on.

Cambodia enthralls visitors with its fabulously diverse cultural palette, its stunning historical monuments, and the alluring beauty of its tropical ecosystems. Sightseeing in and around the country’s great cities—Phnom Penh, Battambang, Siem Reap, and others—reveals the powerful legacy of both the Khmer Empire and French colonialism. Cambodia’s most iconic attraction is Angkor Wat, not far from Siem Reap. This Khmer temple, built in the 12th century, beautifully embodies Hindu and Buddhist spiritual architecture. Other incredible sights include Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace, the clifftop temple of Preah Vihear, and the enormous Mekong River (heartblood of the Southeast Asian mainland). As you work your way from place to place, you’ll be savoring the country’s sophisticated cuisine, which showcases native spices, sauces, grains, and fish in dishes influenced here and there by a French touch. All throughout your journey, you’ll discover in Cambodia a welcoming and hospitable culture.

Fruit is widely available and delicious; some of the more exotic types include longan, choko, jackfruit and mangosteen.

Cambodia declared a foreign policy of neutrality through the rest of the 1950's and into the 1960's until the eastern part of the country began serving as bases for the North Vietnamese. Within the country there was a split in domestic politics and a secret party known as the Communist Party of Kampuchea rose. The monarchy was overthrown in 1970 resulting in the rise of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime which wanted to get rid of Tour to Cambodia from  modern society and replace it with an agrarian one. There were more than a million deaths during the period between 1975 and 1979. In the late 1970's the Vietnamese occupied the country driving the Khmer Rouge into the countryside. In 1991, the Paris Peace Accords mandated democratic elections and the Khmer Rouge finally surrendered in 1999.
