These jackets are selling like hotcakes. A lot of young local Cambodians snap these jackets. They’re not secondhand items, they overruns from the factories just next door this shop. For $9 I’m not a taker. It is still too much, in my opinion.

They’re factory overruns, not secondhand stuff.

Would you buy one yourself?
If the seller agreed to $4, I would’ve got one for myself. I’d choose the Spain jacket, of course. I’m an avid fan of Rafael Nadal, the tennis player 🙂

I like the elaborate design of this entrance. This pagoda is located in Prek Phnov, Russei Keo district, just a few kilometers away from the public market.

At the entrance, an archway carved with giant images facing the four directions greet visitors to this temple.

The design is a replica of the images found at Bayon Temple in Siem Reap while the arch features mythical creatures atop elephants. The beautiful kbach design that is characteristically Khmer is also carved on the arch.

Stopping for gas and some refreshments.

Stop and shop.

The three-headed elephant structure carved on a wall of the temple that sits on top of Phnom Oudong.

Go to Wordless Wednesday for more entries.

APAD 004: Flat land

Flat, verdant land as far as the eye can see.

This was taken while on top of a temple in Phnom Oudong, some 50kms outside of Phnom Penh. Oudong was once the capital of Cambodia and on this mountain lies the remains of Cambodia’s past Kings.
