APAD 363: Vanilla ice, ice cream

My husband and I were out running errands last Saturday. It was hot, as usual, so we bought a tub of ice cream on the way home.

You can’t go wrong with ice cream on a hot day.

I’m a chocolate person so you’d expect I’d get one but my husband likes vanilla, especially with this ice cream brand. The solution? We bought the vanilla ice cream and a chocolate syrup to satiate my chocolate craving. Compromise. It’s a win-win situation for us both.

This week’s entry is a little bit somber as I post one of the signs I saw during a visit to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.

A thought-provoking sign that sends shivers to my spine. This photo is originally uploaded to my other blog, Sreisaat Adventures.

APAD 356: What do you mean you don’t know?

Have you ever seen a sign that makes you go… “seriously?” Well, this sign below fits into that category. Can you guess where this is? My brother found this while strolling at Otres Beach in Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s beachtown.

What do you mean you don’t know? Lol.

My brother was sorry he couldn’t tell me if the food there was any good (they walked past to go to another restaurant) but he said it’s picture-perfect and you can find humour in the restaurant’s name for sure.

APAD 355: I see you

APAD 354: Spirit houses

Golden spirit houses are a common fixture everywhere in Cambodia.

There are no fastfood restaurants with golden arches here yet but we do have lots of establishments that have golden spirit houses at their entrances.

Spirit houses are common fixtures here even in shopping malls. Everyday before stores or shops open to the public, the owners or staff light incense sticks and offer prayers as well as fruits to their dead ancestors to give them good sales, good luck and happiness.
