Eeeeeek, I’ve been listed!
Dear friends, this blog {Inside Cambodia} has been listed to the Expats Blog Directory at Expats Blog (EB), much to my surprise. I don’t know who submitted my blog there or whether the people at EB did it themselves, to be honest. BUT, a big thank you to whoever did it! In an email from EB, I was told that Inside Cambodia has been nominated for one of their Top Blogs for 2012. Ain’t that great?
I don’t normally solicit for help but, here, I’m giving you the link to my listing.

Thank you and have a great weekend!
APAD 037: Apsara carving at Bayon Temple
This carving in one of the pillars at Bayon Temple is just one of the hundreds of thousands of Apsara carvings at the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park in Siem Reap. The carvings are now worn out but, as you can see, the beautifula details are still there.
APAD 036: Pretty Cambodian silk scarves
Locally-made scarves and other products made from Cambodian silk are best-sellers in markets like Tuol Tompong. They come in gorgeous colours, patterns, and textures that appeal to a lot of tourists. Some are silky smooth while others have the roughness of a raw silk.
You can find these scarves, and more souvenirs, at Tuol Tumpong market. It is also known as the Russian market.
Cambodia’s silk is amongst the best in the world and the tradition of silk production can be traced back during the great Angkorian times. However, this industry was destroyed during the long years of war, particularly during the reign of the Khmer Rouge where everything was demolished due to “cultural cleansing”. These days the silk industry is being revived and millions of dollars were pumped into this but it is still struggling due to a lot of factors.
APAD 035: Cloudy day
The thick, billowy clouds provided a dramatic backdrop for these old colonial buildings at the riverside.
Is it going to rain or shine?
The heavens could not decide, it seemed. The following night, however, it rained, much to our delight. It cooled down everything.
APAD 034: Football pitch
This is where my husband’s class go for weekend football games. On some weekends I tag along and cheer them on.
A Silver Finish!
