See you this weekend, Kep.

The fishermen are on their way to work. And their workplace is this wide expanse of the Gulf of Thailand.

We’re off to another road trip down the southern coast of Cambodia, to Kep province where the seafood are fresh and plenty and the town is quiet and laidback.

Signs, signs: Favourite love story

Saw this sign at the entrance gate of a local coffee shop somewhere in Boeungkengkang area. My good friend Lui-in-Penh decided to try this quirky coffee shop after our lunchdate. We were greeted by this lovely sign.

Sweet. What’s yours?

It’s just unfortunate that the sign was placed beside a trash bag, a sore sight that left a not so pleasant impression to a first-time customer, that’s me. Why would a trash bag be placed at the entrance? I have no idea.

However, inside the coffee shop was lovely! I was impressed. I didn’t take a lot of photos inside but the interior was something that’s out of the pages of a magazine, so cute and cosy.

It’s a nice place to hang out.

Don’t you agree?

I hope the management realises this and moves their trash somewhere that’s not conspicuous.

One of the hundreds of shops/stalls found at Psah Thmey (Central Market).

My husband and I love going to local markets. It’s the best place to find all kinds of goods, such as you see in the above photo. Tell me what can you see?

Psah Thmey, like all the other markers in the country, have a wonderful, chaotic character in them that a first-time visitor are easily overwhelmed. Market scenes like this assault your senses — all things bright and colourful, the lively sounds, and the smell, oh, the glorious smell of a market!

More market scenes are found here.
