APAD 159: Khmer-style aparment
A very-yellow apartment 🙂
This apartment stands out from the rest of the apartments in this area. It’s painted in cheery-yellow and can seen from afar.
APAD 156: Monsoon
Just an hour or so of rain and this is what happens in our neighbourhood.
APAD 152: Luscious
Mangoes. Luscious, succulent, sweet. They are one of my most favourite fruits.
Our summer on this part of the planet is never complete without these luscious, bright-yellow mangoes.
APAD 149: Garden
… a restful respite for the city dwellers and and an eye-candy to the tired and weary passersby .
An oasis of sorts. A refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city.
How I wish I have a garden like this!
I’d like to think that I have a green thumb. So far, the seeds and seedlings I planted in our little veranda garden have thrived. Mostly I’ve planted flower plants. I also have bitter gourd and bell pepper, and some herbs like Thai basil and lemongrass. If only we have a place with a large space for a garden. Who knows what else I could grow there?
APAD 145: Sambo the Elephant
This is Sambo, Phnom Penh’s resident elephant. He is now 53 years old and, until recently, he has been one of the lovable and enduring figures for visiting tourists and locals.
Finally, Sambo has retired from his “work” at Wat Phnom.
Sambo’s story is one that could be made into a Hollywood movie.
The Story of Sambo starts all the way back in the 1970’s when he was split up from his owners during the civil war and Khmer Rouge takeover and Sin Son. the boy who had raised Sambo had feared him to have perished along with so many others until after surviving the brutal Pol Pot regime he returned to his old village to find his only remaining neighbor who informed that Sambo had survived the Killing Fields but was now across the other side of Cambodia.
