Hello, friends.

I’m feeling much better these days so I’m back to regular blogging. Now on to my Mellow Yellow Monday entry…

Yum!

This is arguably the best iced coffee in Phnom Penh. You can find it inside the Russian Market, aka, Tuol Tumpong Market.

Sousdei chhoul chhnam thmey!

I just want to break my self-imposed blog hiatus to greet everyone a very happy new year. Today marks the beginning of the Cambodian new year, that is, the year 2556.

May this year be a start of something new, productive, and wonderful for all of us…

No fun!

In case you’re wondering where I’ve been… I’m sick.

I’m feeling run down and nursing a very bad case of cold of cough. It’s been three weeks already. The whole house shakes when I cough (I kid you not!) and my voice now sounds a bit like Sauron (of the Lord of the rings fame) and my dogs are not happy about it. It started with my husband who got it from one of his students… and I have it pretty, pretty bad now. This bug is kicking my behind so please excuse the absence of posts.

I am still coughing a lung but hopefully I can kick this sickness pronto. And since my mother can’t take care of me from all the distance between us, I’ll just remember to cover my mouth when I cough, as she always reminds me.

I’ll be back when I’m feeling better again.

Just a wishful thinking but, hey, it’s cool to have this building in our neightbourhood. You gotta love the name of this recreation centre. For sure you will have a good time there!

Text on the sign:
Good Time Health and Fitness
Opening Soon

It is nearly finished and, according to the sign, it will house a gym, swimming pool, and courts for tennis, badminton, squash, and pingpong, sauna and beauty parlour. Also, a mini-mart and coffee shop will be in the same building.

Oh, did I also say that it’s just across, a stone’s throw from, my apartment. Now how good is that?
