APAD 196: Island-people

These are just some of the sights I saw while on a boat that went around the Chroy Changva Peninsula in Phnom Penh. Chroy Changva is the small island across the Royal Palace (riverside). I pray that the floodwaters didn’t do much damage to these people and their properties.

APAD 195: Lounging on hammocks

Under the tree – what an awesome place to hang the hammock. This big tree provides a cool, shady nook to lounge  or take a happy nappy on your hammock especially during the hot, summer season. See the smiles on their faces?

I, for one, love slinging (or “cocooning”) inside a hammock with a good book and basking in the breezy, summer weather. Traditional Khmer restaurants overlooking rice fields or the lake sport hammocks for customers to use while eating Khmer food. There must be something about eating meals while relaxing on a hammock.

I saw this sign by the door of a commune training centre in Kampong Thom province in one of my visits there. If I’m not mistaken, the partnership has been on for more than 20 years now with  about 260M euros spent for programs in Cambodia.

Cambodia is a partner country for the German Development Cooperation.The priority areas of cooperation agreed between the two governments are rural development and support for the health system. Cross-cutting tasks include: fostering democracy, civil society, public administration and good governance. (Source)
