>That’s My World! 002: Two bikes by the curve
>
One of my favorite things to do on weekends is to go for a bike ride around Kep with my husband early in the morning. Kep is only a small city with 11 villages in total. It takes about an hour’s easy ride to go from one end to another. All throughout the way, the breeze is refreshing and the view — fantastic!
>Mellow Yellow Monday 001: Village gas-station
>
This is my first time to participate in Mellow Yellow Monday.
Photo shows the yellow container full of gasoline. An improvised pump is used to siphon the gas out and onto the car’s tank. This mini-refill gas station is a common sight especially in rural Cambodia. The gasoline comes from the Vietnamese border, unrefined, thus cheaper than the ones sold in gasoline stations. This was even featured in the previous season’s Amazing Race in their Cambodia leg and the contestants find the task very challenging. It was fun to watch them sweat it out, filling their chosen trucks with gasoline all by themselves, while the locals watch them amusingly!
>Sky-watch Friday 002: Night river cruise

The Royal Palace as seen from the other side of the river. Summertime is, when the evening skies are clear and balmy, the perfect time for an evening cruise along the Tonle Bassac river. One can rent an entire boat, similar to this one, for $8-10 an hour. You can bring as many friends as you like and all the food and booze you desire. For additional amount (and depending on the number of guests and the variety of food and drinks required) the boat-owners can also provide catering.

Koh Tonsay (Rabbit Island)
Kep, Cambodia
Summertime is here and the blue waters of Koh Tonsay beckons. Koh Tonsay is my favorite beach in Cambodia… it is still pristine and there is a wild and unyielding feel to the island. With only a few families living here, beach-goers can have the whole island to themselves away from the maddening crowd, enjoying the waters and the fresh seafood, watching the sunrise or sunset, and if you are lucky enough, you can see dolphins playing from a distance. I can’t wait to go there again.
