The Sisowath Quay and the riverside areas in Phnom Penh are two of the places where a large concentration of bars and restaurants are located. During daytime, it looks like this. Traffic could be worse at certain times of the day.

Typical street scene in Phnom Penh’s riverside, taken just last month.

The moment the sun goes down this part of the city comes alive as tourists and locals and expats alike come down here for a good night out. Across the establishments,  the riverfront has also become more popular to promenaders and health buffs as there are several exercise machines installed there recently.

APAD 303: Not your usual morning jam

A queue of vehicles and irritated commuters formed in front of the French Embassy along Monivong Boulevard, affecting the traffic along Street 273, the Japanese bridge, and France Street.

A campaigning convoy caused the traffic jam last Friday morning. Dozens of rented trucks, cars and vehicles waving party banners and blasting loud campaign music rolled over the capital’s main thoroughfares stranding thousands of commuters as campaign activities kick off all over the country. This year’s election is slated on the 3rd of June.

And this is why I was late for a very important date!

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 279: Phnom Penh’s summer trees

Yes, these lovely flower trees are back and the streets of Phnom Penh are covered in a bright explosion of yellow. They are beautiful and striking, don’t you think so? The first time I saw them I  really got smitten.

This is how it looks like in my neighbourhood now. I hope I don’t forget to find a couple of seed pods to send to my mother. She, too, loves flowers and this flower tree will add colour to our small piece of homelot.

I should have taken more pictures but I’m inside a moving car and didn’t exactly fancy getting out lest I inhale smoke from the vehicles and worsen my allergy.
