APAD 189: Cambodian silk bags

Posted by The Insider on Oct 31, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, Shopping, What's On in Cambodia | 3 comments

Aren’t they pretty? They’re made from 100% Cambodian silk. These bags are priced based on how much silk was used.

Here, haggling is an art. One of these bags here can be had for less than $5, if you only know how to deal with the sellers.

Gone the sun…

… from the sky…

From afar, drawing near
Falls the night.

Holy… car! Oops, sorry, I don’t have a clever title or comment for this entry; can’t think of any.

Spotted this vehicle parked along Sihanouk Boulevard last Saturday.

Errmm, no further comment here but you are very much welcome to do so.

More signs all over the world at Signs, Signs. Please do have a look.

At the end of the day, when the sun is about to set, locals and tourists alike gather at the riverside. Here, three rivers meet: the Mighty Mekong, Tonle Bassac, and Tonle Sap.

I could sit there for hours and just watch the boats and boathouses that pass by.

APAD 185: Live chickens

Posted by The Insider on Oct 25, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, people, That's My World, transportation, travel, work | 3 comments

Chicken, anyone?

These men drive around the village to find chickens that are sold by the villagers. They are sort of middlemen on wheels; they  catch them with their own bare hands – if they can catch them because these chickens will put up a fight – bind their feet, and tie them upside down with other chickens at the side of the moto. It looks cruel but that’s the way it goes here…  These middlemen  in turn, sell these chickens in bigger markets, of course, with a bit of a profit.
