I spotted this ominous rain cloud from the car window the other day. It didn’t look like it was going to rain but, I tell you, light rain started to fall. It quickly turned into a torrential rain.Welcome, back, rain. Rainy season is finally here.

APAD 122: Rainclouds

Posted by on Jul 15, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, Kampot, sights, Skywatch Friday | 5 comments

Rainclouds setting over the town of Kampot in southern Cambodia and on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand. Kampot is a sleepy seaside town four hours away from Phnom Penh and is  best known as the jumping point to trips to Phnom Bokor (Mt. Bokor, pic).  It is known internationally for its aromatic pepper. Locally, it grows the best durian (the spiky, stinky fruit that many foreigners love to hate) in the province and the prime producer of salt in the country.

Photo taken while driving towards Kampot from the town of Kep.

APAD 112: Celebration

Posted by on Jul 2, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, Phnom Penh, sights, Skywatch Friday | 3 comments

The dark, gloomy weather this afternoon didn’t dampen the celebratory mood in Phnom Penh. The city’s main streets were “dressed up” in red, white, and blue buntings as well as big and small flags of Cambodia and France were everywhere.

Cheyor, Kampuchea! Vive La Vive la République Française!!

APAD 105 Placid Kep

When I look at this picture, I feel a pinch in my heart. This is, again, a picture I took in Kep. I will never get tired of going there. It is my (and my husband’s) favourite weekend destination in all of Cambodia. The beach lapped playfully by the Gulf of Thailand, the fresh seafoods, the hills – all remind me so much of my hometown of Roxas City in the Philippines. swfsmall
