I’m off to the land of million elephants, Laos, tomorrow, via Phnnom Penh-Stung Treng-Pakse-Vientiane-Luang Prabang-Vientiane route. The husband and I will be on a two-week holiday — a much anticipated R and R. As I am looking at more time spent on rural areas where internet access is rare, I might not be able to update as much as I’d like to. I will, however, give you a detailed account of my road trip, with pictures, when I return. Ciao!

I am so craving for it right now!

This photo was posted in my food blog months ago and thought of sharing it for this week’s Mellow Yellow Monday.

>Sunday Scenery 006: Balloon-power

Driving along on an almost empty road one Saturday afternoon, my husband and I were amused to see this moto ahead of us. Just a few meters away from the French Embassy was this giant balloon, almost obscuring the moto-dup (moto-taxi) from the view. My husband and I chuckled at the odd sight before us and it made us think that the huge balloon was providing energy/power for the moto-dup to run. Alternative energy? Hah. Only in Phnom Penh!

Taken from a boat while we were on a river cruise. The sun has just set and the light is fading. I love the silhouette of the palace spires jutting out against the orange sky.

Inside the Angkor Wat Temple’s gallery wall. As you can see, the hallway extends as far as the eye (or the lens) can see. The walls are carved with scenes from the Khmer version of the epic Ramayana. The carvings are in perfect detail and condition, as if it were carved only recently. Amazing. Truly a world wonder.
