APAD 178: Hello and goodbye, setting sun!

Posted by on Oct 14, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, Cambodia, Cambodia life, Skywatch Friday | 4 comments

Today, the sun finally came out so we took advantage of the good weather. We did the laundry – loads of it – and after that, it was a day out with my husband since today is his day off from work. When we got home, we had coffee while enjoying this beautiful sunset view from our veranda.

Have a great Friday, everyone!

APAD 176: Unstoppable?

No rain or floodwater can stop this young lad from going to school. Kind of reminds me of me  when I was younger, lol.

 

And if it were me above, cycling through the flooded street,  I’d be happily  whistling, too.

APAD 175: Hard life

Posted by on Oct 11, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, That's My World, travel, What's On in Cambodia | 7 comments

In my previous posts, I posted a photo showing the flooded ricefield in one Cambodian province. Apparently, there are areas where the water has subsided a bit. But look at what the rains did to the only only road that links this village to the next.

While the rainy season provides  the much-need water for irrigation of crops and  domestic consumption, too much of rain also is a bane to farmers, drowning their crops and other sources of livelihood.  Such is the life of farmers and villagers in rural areas. While I’m writing this, the sky is getting darker and I can see the rain clouds hovering. Looks like it is going to be a wet, wet afternoon again.

I am not a good swimmer but I just love to come here and unwind with friends on occasions. . The night lights give off a  yellow glow, which  creates a warm, cosy ambiance.

APAD 173: Hey, WAIT up!

Posted by on Oct 8, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, travel | 3 comments

This week’s theme over at Photo Hunt is quite challenging – WAITING. I could not find something that would fit into this theme so I had to really dig deeper into my photo vault and – voila!

Taken inside Banteay Kdei, one of the ancient temples found inside the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park in Siem Reap province. Banteay Kdei is one of the lesser known temples there – and very few people go there – but it’s as old and as interesting as the more popular Angkor Wat, Bayon, and Ta Prohm temples. We were hopping from one temple to another and I could not keep up with my husband. He was too busy taking pictures to even realise I was lagging behind. I didn’t like being left alone amidst the rubbles. It felt odd and eerie, even at broad daylight, so I yelled at him to wait for me. And that’s how this photo was taken.
