The Phnom Penh Railway Station. Quiet now but soon it will be bustling with activity.
I took this photo whilst I was on a tuktuk on the way to the meet a friend last week. I took several shots and this one came out thebest of them all.
The Railway Station of Phnom Penh has recently been restored with the funding coming from international aid money. As you can see, the new coat of paint from the recent major makeover makes it look like a brand new building. New signs displaying schedules were put up, unfortunately, it is still not open for operations. It is unclear up to now when the passenger service resumes. Only the freight service is working at present from Phnom Penh to a few selected points in the country.
I love this French colonial building. If only I had taken a better picture you will agree with me and admire more its art-deco style. The tuktuks parked in front of the closed station leads you to believe that they are waiting for passengers!
Currently, the railways all over the country are being repaired and upgraded. It won’t be too long before trains from Thailand and neighbouring countries to start operating services. Cambodia is the missing link to the planned Trans-Asian Railway network planned by ASEAN countries. If everything goes well, traveling around SEA will be more convenient and enjoyable.

But what are you exactly?
Is that a suction cup on you, dear bug?
It’s amazing what kind of insects you encounter when you are outside Phnom Penh.
I was invited by Aziza’s Place to join in their field trip in Sre Ampil, in Kandal, less than an hour away from Phnom Penh. We went to this small but beautiful farm for a day of fun, fishing, crabbing, and simply just exploring the green fields. It is there when we were exploring when this tiny gold bug flew in front of me and got caught by my husband.
I don’t exactly like bugs but this one was different so I took a photo of it. How can you not like this beauty? It is so tiny, like a teardrop with a suction cup-like shell. It looks like a hard hat but it feels like a baby’s fingernail. It didn’t take long before it opened its shell – in the centre – and flew away. Amazing. That’s the first time I have seen anything like that. Google tells me it’s called a Golden Tortoise beetle.

Sticky Post: Hello world!
Welcome to Inside Cambodia!
I just moved here and this is my first post.
Obviously, this blog is still under construction. I’m still in the process of tweaking my new theme so I won’t be able to post photos as of yet. Will resume back to regular blogging as soon as I have completed dressing up this blog.
For the time being, please look at my recent photos, and not so recent ones. Also, if it is not much to ask, kindly update your RSS feeds to this (right click the logo or any of the links, then copy link location):
