APAD 176: Unstoppable?
No rain or floodwater can stop this young lad from going to school. Kind of reminds me of me when I was younger, lol.
And if it were me above, cycling through the flooded street, I’d be happily whistling, too.

APAD 175: Hard life
In my previous posts, I posted a photo showing the flooded ricefield in one Cambodian province. Apparently, there are areas where the water has subsided a bit. But look at what the rains did to the only only road that links this village to the next.
While the rainy season provides the much-need water for irrigation of crops and domestic consumption, too much of rain also is a bane to farmers, drowning their crops and other sources of livelihood. Such is the life of farmers and villagers in rural areas. While I’m writing this, the sky is getting darker and I can see the rain clouds hovering. Looks like it is going to be a wet, wet afternoon again.

APAD 171: Souvenir Cambodian Tshirts
Tourists who want to bring home a piece of Cambodia are not disappointed because there are hundreds, and I mean hundreds, of souvenir shops all over the country. Ranging from beautiful silk cloths to Angkorian and Buddhist-themed carvings, to silverwork and precious and semi-precious gems, to the most traditional souveniris of all Cambodian souvenirs – the krama, a checkered, multi-purpose scarf unique only to Cambodia. However, most young tourists still prefer pretty funky Tshirts with deSIGNS like below:
Funky deSIGNS. I especially love the DRUNKNMUNKY shirt, don’t you?
They are made of cotton, come sin different colours, and sizes and they’re sold less than the price of a cheeseburger – so cheap!
More signs all over the world at Signs, Signs. Please do have a look.

APAD 169: The Chanchhaya Pavilion, Phnom Penh
This is the Chanchhaya Pavilion, also known as the Moonlight Pavilion ,at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. It dominates the facade of the Royal Palace along Sothearos Boulevard. Every time I pass by this place, I can’t help but admire the beautiful, distinct Khmer-classical style of architecture of this building.
This open-air pavilion, fronting the river, was originally built as a dance conservatory. It is now used as a venue for banquets and other state functions. On special occasions, locals and tourists alike come here to watch special performances of the Khmer classical dances.
In 2004, the Pavilion was used for a banquet and tribune for the new King Norodom Sihamoni during his coronation. It looks stunning, isn’t it? Have you ever wondered how it looks like at night? It is even more spectacular! If you are interested to see, please click here and here. More about the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh here.

APAD 167: And it’s still raining…
Yesterday, that is.
It’s pouring rain non-stop. I wished the rain would stop because the water has already overflowed on to the road. Many places in Phnom Penh are already underwater.
