APAD 151: Fast cars at Legend Cinema

Posted by on Sep 5, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, Cambodia, Cambodia life, Mellow Yellow Monday, Phnom Penh, What's On in Cambodia | 3 comments

Last Wednesday, I was invited by the nice people at Legend Cinema for the premier screening of the movie, Fast and Furious 5. Th Fast 5 premier also coincided with the premier of Disney Pixar’s Cars 2, for kids and kids-at-heart.  We were happy to see so many cars on display at CitMall’s parking lot as part of its promotional gimmick. Here are two yellow cars  that were on display:

 These are only two of the dozens (even more) of cool cars that were on display that day. I chose only these two for my Mellow Yellow Monday entry today.

While this is not the first time I got invited by Legend Cinema (I told you they are very generous) I didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation for another movie screening. You know why? Because the movie to be screened stars two tough guys in Hollywood. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. I like them both, they’re ruggedly handsome and cute like teddy bears. I enjoyed the movie because apart from the two – you should watch their attempts at emoting, especially Vin Diesel. LOL. I could not imagine a tough-looking guy turning into a softie. Watching Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson I could not help but giggle because I somehow expected him to raise an eyebrow everytime the camera closes in on his face. What a hoot!

Anyways, to those who are in Phnom Penh, go watch it. It is still showing at Legend Cinema. The action is set in the exotic Brazil, the awesome cars are there, and – I hate to say this – beautiful women, and of course, the oozing machismo. Nevertheless, it is a very entertaining, fun movie.

APAD 150: What good is it for? Part 2

The part 1 is here.

The following day, I went back to the same market to get a supply of  yarn for my crochet tutorials.  Look what greeted me –

More motorcycles parked under the No Parking sign on broad daylight and for the public to see!

I was tempted to break out in a song beginning with the words in my blog title but…

This is just wrong, plain and simple. Some people think signs are made for everybody

but them.

This was intended for the Women’s Day post but I got buried under tons of office work. Anyways, here it goes… a salute to the Cambodian women who go through many sacrifices and discrimination. I support the continuing struggle for the empowerment of women in Cambodia.

These young women ply their wares by boat. This is a common sight in floating villages of Cambodia.

These are floating stores.
