Our World Tuesday: Holiday rush

How have you all been?

I’ve been busy, busy, busy the past few weeks until the Valentine’s weekend, thank God for that. My husband and I agreed not to go out and just chillax at home and do whatever we want. So I downloaded stuff off the Internet, scoured online shops for my new hobby, and then found this really nice online jewelry shop that I like, it’s called www.joyjewelers.com/, and I’m amazed at how beautiful the pieces are.

Anyways, back to reality. It’s a few more days till it’s the Chinese New Year but, already, the people in Phnom Penh are in a holiday shopping frenzy. Today, on my way to meet a friend in Parkway (Mao Tse Tung Blvd.), traffic was really solid and I got stuck at Psah Damkor, near Chenla Theatre all the way up to the intersection of Hotel Intercon and Monireth Blvd. Since I was stranded there for a good hour, I took some photos of what was unfolding before me:

The traffic lights are working soundly but drivers just keep on pushing and pushing, never giving way. Almost at a standstill.

Stranded.
