We might not have 7-Elevens here in Phnom Penh but there are plenty of small convenience stores like this all over the city.
APAD 247: Phnom Penh’s Skybridge 2
Yes, we have a skybridge in Phnom Penh. Not one, not two, but three…
Phnom Penh’s skybridge number two officially opened to the public in January 7 this year presided by no less than the Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen himself.
My husband and I were looking for some paint stuff last Friday and, instead of heading towards the town centre, we went the opposite direction taking the Russian Federation boulevard. The last time we passed by this area in December, half of the bridge was still under construction so we were surprised and delighted to see that the bridge was already opened 🙂
Driving over the bridge felt like we were in a different city. This new skybridge, named Spean akas Prampi Makara (7th January Sky Bridge), not only eases the traffic problem along this area but also gives the capital Phnom Penh a modern look and feel! The bridge was named after a historical event in the country, the Victory Day over Genocide Regime. The third skybridge is reportedly going to be built in Stung Meanchey district.
Here’s additional information about the skybridge from this site:
The site location of the second sky bridge in Phnom Penh is in Toul Kork district and Sen Sok district (Pet Lok Sang intercourse), which is located along Russian Federation Blvd with a branch connected to Kampuchea Krom Blvd. It’s a concrete type of bridge with both sides handle of 1.08 m high.
The bridge along the Russian Federation Blvd is 345 m long, 15.2 m wide, two ways with four lanes. The branch to Kampuchea Krom Blvd is 160 m long, 6.5 m wide with only one way drive from Russian Federation Blvd to Kampuchea Krom Blvd, the opposite way is under the bridge. The construction period was 13 months and cost 8.7 million USD. The contractor is Oversea Cambodian Investment Company (OCIC).

APAD 246:Phnom Penh’s double-decker party bus
Party onboard? How cool is that? This double-decker was used two months ago for the launching of a local beer.
No one seems to be aboard the party bus though. I wonder where the party-goers were if they’re not on the bus. For more signs around the world, please click the logo. It will lead you to Leslie’s Signs, signs site.

APAD 243: Sweet mango pie
I have seen several stalls selling yellow, ripe mangoes at the public market near where we live and it can only mean one thing. Undoubtedly, summer season in the Kingdom is here and the much-awaited mango season is now on!
Price per kilo is reasonable, for now, but I expect it to be cheaper as we head into the summer. I bought several pieces, both yellow and green ones. I love mangoes. The green ones I eat with a combo of salt, sugar, pepper and fresh chilli, the popular dipping of the locals. My husband, not so much. However, he can not resist fresh mango slices when served for dessert. Or the delightful mango pie that I make from time to time…
I make my own pie pastry using a recipe I culled from one of the food blogs online. I have to say it is the best pie pastry I ever made. My husband loves it, too.
