APAD 184: Rush
Here comes the rain now. Everybody is rushing to go home.
They all seemed to be heading in the same direction as us.

APAD 183: A nice day
Perfect time to go hit the road, isn’t it? Rural Cambodia is very charming and you’ll never know what surprises await you. Here you see a man on his motorbike and strapped behind him is this big bamboo basket with two squealing pig in it. The man probably collected these pigs from the village to be sold at the market.

APAD 182: Going Vietnamese
The signs looks, errmm, green, lol. Although the sign says Vietnamese the characters are in Khmer script. The lacklustre sign belies a great selection of Vietnamese dishes that are value for your money. Fancy Vietnamese cuisine?
They serve the largest banh xeo (a savoury Vietnamese crepe with sprouted mung beans, ground pork with sweet-sour dipping and a favourite of mine) I’ve ever seen and the best-tasting beef with sesame. Yum!
More signs all over the world at Signs, Signs. Please do have a look.
APAD 181: Umbrella… ella… ella…
My husband and I were driving along north of Norodom Boulevard one evening when this bicycle overtook us.
While my husband was caught by surprise – it came out of nowhere – I had the urge to sing Rihanna’s popular “Umbrella” song!

APAD 180: Submerged in floodwater
I haven’t been out the past week so I have very little pictures to show about what’s happening inside the country. My younger brother who blogs intermittently at LitratoImages went on a company outreach to Lvea Aem district in Kandal province, one of the badly affected areas in the country. Lvea Aem is about 30-45mins away from Phnom Penh and my brother took photos showing the current situation there. Here’s one that I borrowed from him:
Oh, this picture shows the beautiful and the ugly at the same time. Clearly the photographer captured a beautiful image but at the same time it shows the ugly implications. The wat (temple) is half-submerged in water but the school-building behind it (on the left) and the covered shed (in front of the wat) are almost underwater. These parked motorised boats are for rent, however, and has been used as the only means to go around the villages.
Reports say that rain continues to pound the countryside, while there is hardly any rain this week in my side of the city. If the rain continues to fall at the rate it is currently going, Phnom Penh will be underwater soon as floodwater descend on the capital as, reports say, sections of the banks of the Mekong river, Tonle Sap and Tonle Bassac are in grave danger of collapsing.
Please remember the countless Cambodians displaced by floods in your prayers.
