APAD 057: National treasure

Posted by on Dec 25, 2012 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia life, Cycle 2, sights, That's My World, What's On in Cambodia | 0 comments

Driving along Norodom Boulevard near Wat Phnom I saw this old colonial house that was newly painted. It is beautiful and one of the few that are still found in the city. It houses the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, if I am not mistaken.

I think this is one of the few that has escaped the hands of businessmen who tear down old buildings to make way for ugly, commercial ones.

This old hotel building is in danger of getting torn down one day.

Operations has stopped a very long time ago. The ground floor is now rented out as residences or shops.

The fate of this building is yet unknown. But one thing is for sure, it will be gone one day.

APAD 320: The Winking Tomato Bank

Posted by on Jul 5, 2012 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, sights, That's My World | 7 comments

This sign made us U-turn just because…

The Tomato Specialized Bank building in Phnom Penh.

This is Korean-owned and  one of the recent additions to the Cambodian banking scene. What it specializes in though I do not have the slightest clue. I do however think that the logo – a winking tomato – is cute . ^_^

Tell me, with the recent crash of the banking and financial systems globally, would you entrust your hard-earned money in this bank named after, errr, a fruit, or, a vegetable? Can’t make up my mind but you know what I’m getting at, lol.
