Dreaming of another roadtrip!

Our bike ride took us to Phnom Oudong (Oudong mountain) and the view from the top didn't disappoint. Green plains as far as the eye can see, dotted with palm trees that look like pom poms on sticks. Oudong was once the royal capital of Cambodia. It is considered a sacred place as it is the burial site of Khmer kings . . . #insidecambodia #insidephnompenh #cambodialife #expatpost #expatlife #roadtrip #roadtripcambodia #sreisaat #ourworldtuesday

We celebrated my husband’s birthday in Kep last month. It was a simple celebration with family enjoying a sumptuous seafood dinner and champagne for the toast. All these merriment and with the stunning sunset as our witness made my husband’s birthday a very a memorable milestone for the family.

Signs, signs: Road-trip

Exactly three weeks ago today, my husband and I were on a riding holiday with our trusty Hagrid (Honda CB400). Kep (with a side-trip to nearby Kampot) was the second leg of the trip, the first being Siem Reap. We were joined by my father-in-law and my stepson who were visiting Cambodia. Fun times we had!

Back from hibernation. Loved exploring the city on foot but too darn dangerous for visitors, as recently experienced by yours truly. #streetlife #saigon #HCMC #travel #instatravel #streetphotography_bw

Ho Chi Minh City is a delightful place to go to. There is so much happening in every direction that you’ll surely miss a thing when you blink. The sea of motorists – and the sound of the horns – is just overwhelming.

However, robbery/snatching is a major dampener to a tourists visiting there! So please, please, be very careful when going there. Leave your valuables at the hotel. Don’t trot around with your fancy phones and camera. Take it from me. It happened to me ten years ago when I first went there. It happened again to my friend on our visit last month. Apparently, some things never change 🙁
