This is a maxi-card.Well, almost. It features the Prasat Preah Vihear, or the Preah Vihear Temple, located in the northern Cambodian province of Preah Vihear. It is a beautiful Hindu temple sitting on top of a mountain that straddles between the Cambodia and Thailand border. Please visit my Postcards Crossing blog for more info about Preah Vihear and postcards from countries around the world.

APAD 105 Placid Kep

When I look at this picture, I feel a pinch in my heart. This is, again, a picture I took in Kep. I will never get tired of going there. It is my (and my husband’s) favourite weekend destination in all of Cambodia. The beach lapped playfully by the Gulf of Thailand, the fresh seafoods, the hills – all remind me so much of my hometown of Roxas City in the Philippines. swfsmall

APAD 104: Confusion inside the loo

APAD 104 Confused much

A few years ago, I came back from an overseas trip and, while waiting for my baggage to come out of the carousel, I decided to make a dash to the loo. I was chuckling when I saw this sign inside one of the cubicles…

Change? What change?!?! lol.
This is not a mistranslation but merely a misplaced sign that I found to be funny while sitting on the “throne”.

APAD 102: Technicolour

Is she familiar to you?

In Phnom Penh, I see this woman every time I go to Psah Thmey or the New Market, commonly (albeit incorrectly) called as the Central Market by most expats. She is one of the colourful figures there. Everyday she stands at the entrance of Psah Thmey offering hammocks of different colours to tourists and locals alike. Oh, she could be very persistent and annoying sometimes.Every time I see her, her colourful wares draped around her body like a sash, and her wide cheeky smile, I am constantly reminded of one of my favourite biblical characters, Joseph the Dreamer.
Can you see the similarities? 🙂
