APAD 270: Food
You are what you eat. These are some of the vegetables commonly found in the markets in Cambodia.
APAD 269: Hope
Hang in there, little flower. Hope is in the horizon.
This is just one of the views that welcomed us in our previous road trip. As it was at the height of summer, when the whole Kingdom was dry, dusty, and arid, we began our trip very early morning. On our first stop was an ordinary hill. However, tucked amidst the green vegetation on this hill lies the remnants of a lesser known ancient temple with a history of its own.
APAD 268: Colourful tapes
The holiday season is upon us again and I’ve been obsessing on these coloured adhesive tapes. They will be used for gift-wrapping and making Christmas cards.
APAD 267: High-five!
A statue of a solar lion, a mythical creature in Buddhist culture. They are often placed at the gates and doors of Buddhist wats (temples).
APAD 264: Buddhist shrine
It was the last day of the Chinese New Year when, and a very early morning at that, when my husband and I decided to go on a road trip. We ended up in Phnom Prasith, some 30kms away from Phnom Penh.
A lonely shrine sits on top of the hill.
I wrote about our trip there in this blog post.
To get there, from Phnom Penh, take National Road Number 5 until you reach Prek Phnov market. Then turn left and drive 13kms more on a dirt road. The scenery is beautiful along the way, except for the dust as there were road constructions at the time we went there. You will see the hills, and one of them has a very old temple with a giant reclining Buddha. Take time to talk with the caretakers as they may tell you interesting stories.
A Silver Finish!
