I just want to break my self-imposed blog hiatus to greet everyone a very happy new year. Today marks the beginning of the Cambodian new year, that is, the year 2556.

May this year be a start of something new, productive, and wonderful for all of us…

Just a wishful thinking but, hey, it’s cool to have this building in our neightbourhood. You gotta love the name of this recreation centre. For sure you will have a good time there!

Text on the sign:
Good Time Health and Fitness
Opening Soon

It is nearly finished and, according to the sign, it will house a gym, swimming pool, and courts for tennis, badminton, squash, and pingpong, sauna and beauty parlour. Also, a mini-mart and coffee shop will be in the same building.

Oh, did I also say that it’s just across, a stone’s throw from, my apartment. Now how good is that?

Taken on top of the O’Russei Market, at the rooftop parking area. What a view.

For some reason, the umbrellas look like mushrooms and the tuk-tuks resemble cockroaches that are on parade.

APAD 277: Thai Huot

This is one of the grocery stores that I love going to. They just opened a new branch in Tuol Kork district, near my place.

Thai Huot is a small grocery store but it is stocked with French and other European products. My husband also loves the cheese section as well as the pantry products. Their spices section is also well-worth a look.
