APAD 100: Are we there yet?
The long and lonely tree-lined road to Kep, Cambodia.
Apparently, there are still 100kms to go before reaching Kep. Can you still hold on, my dear?
APAD 098: Wat Vipassanak Thurak, Kep
Just south of Kep town is Wat Vipassana Thurak, or Wat Vipassana Meditation Centre. It sits on a hill at the bosom of Kep National Park overlooking Kep and its nearby islands, and the Gulf of Thailand. On a very clear day, the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc can be seen from the horizon. The temple is new and has several giant images of the Buddha. It is well worth a visit!

APAD 097: I’m delighted!
A room service menu found in the hotel room where I was staying in Sihanoukville. Sihanoukville is the prime beach town of Cambodia about four hours away from the capital of Phnom Penh. In fairness, the food was good, enough to delight my grumbling tummy.

APAD 096: Battle of the Bugs
Uh-oh, looks like the fly is done for. Poor thing. It is indeed the survival of the fittest out there…
Looking at this again and again gives me the willies… I certainly wouldn’t want to be caught in the middle of that!
Took this photo long ago when my point-and-shoot digi-cam was brand new. I tried the macro-shot feature and could not believe how it turned out – an incredible extreme close up of bugs slugging it out. I love the depth of field here. I was just there, at the right place and at the right time, lucky me.(Poor fly though.) My husband said this would be an excellent and useful picture for teaching food chain.

APAD 094: Mad-hatters they are not
Independence Day Parade, November 9, 2008. Cheyor, Cambodia!
Cambodia in celebration of its 55th anniversary of Independence from France.
I do not know which government ministry was this contingent from but judging from the hard-hats worn, they might be from the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
