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 353: Sky-high delta

It is supposed to be the monsoon season here in Cambodia but the sun is still up and shining and the weather so hot and dry. So we  thought that we might as well take advantage of the good weather, right? That’s right, and we went kite-flying again. Here’s our delta flying high in the glorious cloud-filled sky.

Giving kite-flying another go before the monsoon rain comes.

I would’ve not seen this amazing sky had I not taken the dogs for a walk.

APAD 320: The Winking Tomato Bank

This sign made us U-turn just because…

The Tomato Specialized Bank building in Phnom Penh.

This is Korean-owned and  one of the recent additions to the Cambodian banking scene. What it specializes in though I do not have the slightest clue. I do however think that the logo – a winking tomato – is cute . ^_^

Tell me, with the recent crash of the banking and financial systems globally, would you entrust your hard-earned money in this bank named after, errr, a fruit, or, a vegetable? Can’t make up my mind but you know what I’m getting at, lol.

APAD 318: Street sights

The Sisowath Quay and the riverside areas in Phnom Penh are two of the places where a large concentration of bars and restaurants are located. During daytime, it looks like this. Traffic could be worse at certain times of the day.

Typical street scene in Phnom Penh’s riverside, taken just last month.

The moment the sun goes down this part of the city comes alive as tourists and locals and expats alike come down here for a good night out. Across the establishments,  the riverfront has also become more popular to promenaders and health buffs as there are several exercise machines installed there recently.
