APAD 081: The sugar palm trees of Cambodia
The Sugar Palm tree (borassus flabellifer), or the Asian Palmyra palm, is one of Cambodia’s national icons. These trees are not hard to miss (from afar they look like cute pompom heads on a stick) as they are found all throughout Cambodia, especially in the countryside.
Just like the Philippines’ very own coconut tree, the sugar palm tree plays a very important role in providing a source of food, income, and not to mention as a source of building materials, to Cambodians.

APAD 080: Yellow, round building
I find this round, yellow building odd, don’t you think so, too? It’s like a birthday cake or something. This building is used as an office of a private company located across the Caltex Bokor gas station, just a stone’s throw away from the junction of Monivong and Mao Tse Tung Boulevards.
APAD 079: Homesick Max
Don’t worry, Max. You’ll get used to our new house soon enough.
Max is missing our old house in BKK district. Photo taken just a few days after we moved to our current apartment.

APAD 078: Phnom Penh as seen from a plane
It feels good to come home! Taken in December 2007 after more than two weeks of work-related travel (Malaysia and Nepal). In my case, home for now – and in the last 11 years – is Phnom Penh.
I was so excited to be home that time, having narrowly avoided the Christmas rush – what a huge relief it was! To keep my excitement at bay, I kept on looking out the plane’s window, and down, to see the landscape. I think I did a pretty good job in capturing the chocolate landscape that looks like a giant jigsaw puzzle. And look, I even captured the shadow of the airplane. This is one of my favourite pictures!
This is my comeback entry (for the nth time) at Photo Hunt. More Photo Hunters are found at tnchick’s site. Please click the link to go there.
APAD 077: Another fantastic sunset
… in Kep. Taken in the balcony of our rented room. It is an amazing splash of colours looming over the the silhouette of Phnom Bokor (Bokor Mountain).
