At the end of the day, when the sun is about to set, locals and tourists alike gather at the riverside. Here, three rivers meet: the Mighty Mekong, Tonle Bassac, and Tonle Sap.

I could sit there for hours and just watch the boats and boathouses that pass by.

APAD 185: Live chickens

Chicken, anyone?

These men drive around the village to find chickens that are sold by the villagers. They are sort of middlemen on wheels; they catch them with their own bare hands – if they can catch them because these chickens will put up a fight – bind their feet, and tie them upside down with other chickens at the side of the moto. It looks cruel but that’s the way it goes here… These middlemen in turn, sell these chickens in bigger markets, of course, with a bit of a profit.

Here comes the rain now. Everybody is rushing to go home.

They all seemed to be heading in the same direction as us.

Perfect time to go hit the road, isn’t it? Rural Cambodia is very charming and you’ll never know what surprises await you. Here you see a man on his motorbike and strapped behind him is this big bamboo basket with two squealing pig in it. The man probably collected these pigs from the village to be sold at the market.

The signs looks, errmm, green, lol. Although the sign says Vietnamese the characters are in Khmer script. The lacklustre sign belies a great selection of Vietnamese dishes that are value for your money. Fancy Vietnamese cuisine?

They serve the largest banh xeo (a savoury Vietnamese crepe with sprouted mung beans, ground pork with sweet-sour dipping and a favourite of mine) I’ve ever seen and the best-tasting beef with sesame. Yum!
