APAD 111: That’s me.

Cute, no? I was quick enough to grab my cam and took this photo. I normally see this sort of scenes in kids cartoon channels but to see it with our own eyes on one of our road trips to Kampot province was a pleasant surprise and certainly one of the most memorable experiences we have. Who let the ducks out? lol. The last duck, in all its brown glory, looks like the bodyguards of the other white ducks.

Here is a video-interview of Sambo’s caretaker talking about his reunion with Sambo:
