For me, public markets are one of the best places to soak up the local culture. Psah O’Russei, or O’Russei Market, is a sprawling multi-level market building with a parking area (hotel, restaurant and a spa) on the top floor.

This is where I like spending a little bit more time, just looking at the skyline or at the sight below. It’s amazing that there’s always interesting things you can see from the top floor.

These are my favourite oranges from Battambang; They are sweet and tangy and costs only 10000riels a dozen ($2.50). The glass orange-squeezer is a gem of a find at a thrift shop for only $1.50. Now I can have fresh orange juice any time I like it.

A glass or two of this freshly-squeezed orange juice to fight a nasty cold.

A lovely summer day with temp around 30-32C. But it does get warmer (and oh-so-humid!) than this.

Rows of Khmer-style apartment in my neigbourhood.

The newly renovated Psah Thmey in Phnom Penh. It's popularly known to most tourists as the Central Market.

Psah Thmey  was built in the French art deco-style in 1937 in the shape of a dome with four arms branching out into vast hallways with hundreds of stalls/shops. In 2009-2011, the government received funding from the French Development Agency for its renovation.

Psah Thmey is one of the liveliest and busiest shopping centre and the number one tourist spot in Phnom Penh.
