The Women of Prek Toal
This was intended for the Women’s Day post but I got buried under tons of office work. Anyways, here it goes… a salute to the Cambodian women who go through many sacrifices and discrimination. I support the continuing struggle for the empowerment of women in Cambodia.
These young women ply their wares by boat. This is a common sight in floating villages of Cambodia.
These are floating stores.

A Khmer Wedding
Two of my colleagues got married last weekend. They’re only in their early 20s. They met in the office. She is dusky and very pretty. He is skinny but cute and a really nice guy. No wonder she fell in love with him. We never suspected they’re an item so when they handed out the invitation to their wedding, we were surprised, pleasantly, of course. Here are some pictures I took on their wedding reception:
The happy couple. You can see it in their faces.
My colleagues all dressed and made up prettily.
