APAD 335: Busy bee
We spent most of our Sunday outdoors flying kites again. I noticed that in the area where we usually go there were lots of butterflies and other bugs everywhere.
Here’s one close up of a bee sipping the nectar off the flowers. I cropped it out of a larger picture, so pardon the blurry quality.
Busy bee.

APAD 333: The morning after…
A huge fire razed a neighbourhood in Tuol Sangke district of Phnom Penh, less than five kilometers from ours. The morning after the incident, we saw the house-owners literally picking up the pieces of what’s left of their homes.

APAD 332: Knick-knacks
Pad locks, bicycle chains, electric fans, soccer balls – name it, they must have it!
APAD 330: Sunday sights
This is how it looks like on weekends in front of the Royal Palace.
The place to be on weekends here in the city. Lots of colourful sights that appeal to both young and old alike.

APAD 323: Fishers of men
Right across the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh on the riverside is where the Mighty Mekong River and the Tonle Sap merge giving birth to the smaller Bassac River. Also in this location lies a floating fishing community that relies on this rich waters for their livelihood.
The sun is about to set while the fishermen are heading for “work”. I pray each day that they go out there, in the middle of the lake, safely and with enough catch to feed their families and to sell for extra income.
Since the ancient times – and up to this day – the Tonle Sap and Mekong River have enormous supply of fish and other aquatic resources. In the ancient times, they also served as naval battleground between the great Khmer empire and its enemies.
These days, tourists rent boats to cruise along the rivers. To cap the river cruise is the splendid sunset that is best viewed in this location.
APAD 322: Delta in the sky
Okay, this is another kite post. I can’t get enough of kites, you see. A blog reader commented that kite-flying is therapeutic – I agree!
I was surprised that some of the kids arrived to go fly kites with us. Luckily we have smaller kites for them. It is great to see that these kids are ditching with Gameboys and videogames and engaging in a more “active” activity outdoors. Kites and kite-flying is becoming popular and regular thing with the kids in our neighbourhood now.
I think I have flown a kite more now as an adult than when I was a kid.
The weather was, again, gorgeous yesterday and the kite was sensational. Next time though we need to bring more water and sunblock lotion.
