APAD 228: Spiky
Here’s a close up of the yellowish-greenish free-loader in my garden. It looks scary, isn’t it?
Although this creepy-crawlie dude looks harmless, still it gives me the hibby-jibbies. And goose-bumps. {shivers}
APAD 227: A cloud-filled day
The new bridge to Koh Pich (Diamond Island). We went there to check out the One Province, One Product Exhibit two weeks ago and we weren’t disappointed.
Even though we went there on a weekend, the traffic was surprisingly not heavy, as you can see from the picture. Add to that, the weather was a cool 25C and even if the aircon wasn’t in full, it was still cool inside the exhibition area. There were so many interesting things to see. I think the One Province, One Product exhibit is a great way for small and medium Cambodian producers and farmers to showcase their produce to the national and international level.

APAD 226: Hot dog?
This is one of the signs that tell you that the Cambodian-Vietnamese border is close by. My husband initially thought this shack was selling hotdogs, lol.
I read the Khmer script on top of the Vietnamese writing (I studied how to read and write long ago but can only read simple words, like the ones written on the sign). The Khmer translation for the Vietnamese phrase “hot toc” is “kak sok”, meaning, hair cut.
APAD 225: Overloaded
How much can a truck hold?

APAD 224: Cambodian border crossing in Bavet
Here is the Cambodian immigration office at the border in Bavet.
The central building is the main immigration office and it showcases the classical Khmer style of architecture. I’ve been here three times previously to go to Vietnam – the last one being in 2003. I was really surprised to see the huge change when I came here two weeks ago. From the muddy field and tiny shack that used to be where immigration formalities are done, it is now a sprawling area with several booths for border-crossers to have their passports stamped and this fantastic building where the Cambodian immigration officers work.

APAD 223: Siomai
I always look forward to weekends in Phnom Penh where we get to dine out at a restaurant of our choice. More often than not, we go Chinese. And there is no shortage of authentic Chinese restaurants in the city.
I forgot how these are called in Khmer language but they are called “siomai” in the Philippines. My favourite. I could a dozen or more of this 🙂
