This past weekend, my husband and I went on an impromptu road trip to the Cambodian border town of Bavet, in Svay Rieng province. Bavet is one of the several international border crossing on the Cambodian side; it’s counterpart is Moc Bai, in Tay Ninh province of Vietnam. Cambodian visas are available there.

The road to Bavet from Phnom Penh is in good condition, thanks to the road project years before. Like any other border towns in Cambodia, the streets of Bavet are lined with casinos, massage and karaoke parlours.

Where does this double yellow line lead you to?

This road is a part of the National Road 1, from Phnom Penh leading to the provinces of Prey Veng and Svay Rieng. Taken last weekend while on a road trip to the Cambodian border town of Bavet in Svay Rieng province.

APAD 217: Deja brew?

Here’s one snapshot of the many coffee shops that have mushroomed in the city. This shop has a cute name and sign – deja brew. The shop looks nice from the outside  but I wonder if the coffee is any good. I still prefer the coffee – iced coffee – sold in the local restos and markets.

One newly-arrived expat I know commented that she enjoyed going to a different coffee shop every day.
