APAD 241: Where to go?
Miss Igorota in front of the big sign located less than 10kms from the immigration office in the Cambodian border town of Poipet.
APAD 240: Same-same but different
Pho is the national noodle soup of the Vietnamese. It’s traditionally eaten at breakfast but it’s also a popular lunch, dinner or snack item. I’ve had pho before – the awesome broth with wafts of ginger and other herbs and slices of beef with rice noodles never fail to make my stomach happy at all times.
The other week, I was introduced to another kind of Vietnamese soup. I forgot what it is called now but it’s got the similar awesome aromatic soup and noodles – if not for the copious amounts of kopi (or was it prahok) for seasoning.
Had this Vietnamese noodle soup for the first time. My officemate said this wasn’t pho.
APAD 238: On call list
Who’s on duty?
This is one of the signs posted during Operation Smile Cambodia’s international surgical mission in Phnom Penh last month.
APAD 237: Bug
A bug, known as the mango borer.
This and its mates is a major pests of mango trees. In fact, the gang just chewed up a mango tree next to our house, much to the dismay of my landlord. The mango tree bears a prized-variety, keo chen mango, that sells up to $7 for a dozen.
APAD 235: Tooth fairies
One of the signs that caught my attention as I was checking the day’s activities and volunteers during the screening day of Operation Smile Cambodia’s recently-concluded international mission at the Smile Center. There on the dentist’s table this sign was posted – how fun!
What the volunteer dentists at the recent Operation Smile Cambodia International Surgical mission called themselves. Funny chaps they were!
Our volunteer dentists for this mission were from South Africa and Egypt. They were both young and energetic lads and so fun to watch as they do their magic with our patients.
