APAD 153: Wooden house
I’m so in love with this Khmer traditional wooden house (see picture). A traditional Khmer house is typically built on stilts, about 2-3ms above the ground.
When my husband and I finally decide to settle, our dream house will definitely bear some features of a Khmer house – an external staircase that leads up to the living area, with wooden beams and shutters, and a wrap-around balcony. The ground area serve will also serve as the parking space or a recreation place; it can also serve as a resting area (hang our hammocks and doze off to lala-land!), or, can be a dirty kitchen.
APAD 152: Luscious
Mangoes. Luscious, succulent, sweet. They are one of my most favourite fruits.
Our summer on this part of the planet is never complete without these luscious, bright-yellow mangoes.
APAD 151: Trimmed
Was Edward Scissorhands here? This decoratively trimmed plants could fetch hundreds to thousands of dollar per tree.
APAD 150: Thorny
Cactus, cacti. Anyone?
My husband and I went on a sight-seeing trip at the Chroy Changvar Peninsula. Along the way are a few garden shops selling all sorts of plants. Above is the cactus section. I do not know their names but I like the ones with pretty yellow flowers on the foreground and the coloured ones (red, yellow and orange mostly) on the middleground. The large spherical ones are just as lovely!
These various cacti are used for landscaping but will brighten anyone’s window sill or or garden (when bigger). They surely add texture and colour, shape and colour to the landscape.
