An overloaded cart pulled by a moto slowly making its way to wherever its destination was. This photo was taken along the Russian Boulevard last Sunday.

I pray the driver and his cargo arrived safely.

APAD 033: It’s normal.

It is still hot and dry in Phnom Penh despite the fact that we are supposed to be already in the rainy/wet season. The heat is sweltering and one time two weeks ago I stayed outdoors flying kites for a few hours and got myself a nasty sunburn.  I’m still waiting for my sunburn to heal

Anyways, speaking of summers… summers in Cambodia meant the blossoming of the of these  flower trees around the city, called phka loeung or royal yellow flower. Aren’t they pretty?

These pretty royal yellow flowers are what cherry blossoms are in Tokyo.

I believe the summer season in the Penh is not complete without these pretty yellow blossoms! So you see, even these flower trees are confused about the weather.

I sat in my husband’s class last Friday and they were making something. The students were only given several pairs of chopsticks, drinking straws, four discarded CDs and pieces of paper to design and build a car. So what were the results?

This one’s my favourite of all:

Brilliant car design by Mak Saindor, a 13 year old student.

I just love the creativity here, good design, and runs fast enough. Love the details as well, from the Cambodian flag to the reference to the Olympic Games.

I’ve got to hand the GOLD medal to the student who made this!
