APAD 185: Live chickens

Posted by on Oct 25, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, people, That's My World, transportation, travel, work | 3 comments

Chicken, anyone?

These men drive around the village to find chickens that are sold by the villagers. They are sort of middlemen on wheels; they  catch them with their own bare hands – if they can catch them because these chickens will put up a fight – bind their feet, and tie them upside down with other chickens at the side of the moto. It looks cruel but that’s the way it goes here…  These middlemen  in turn, sell these chickens in bigger markets, of course, with a bit of a profit.

Here comes the rain now. Everybody is rushing to go home.

They all seemed to be heading in the same direction as us.

APAD 181: Umbrella… ella… ella…

My husband and I were driving along north of Norodom Boulevard one evening when this bicycle overtook us.

While my husband was caught by surprise – it came out of nowhere – I had the urge to sing Rihanna’s popular “Umbrella” song!

APAD 175: Hard life

Posted by on Oct 11, 2011 in A Photo a Day, Addicted to Meme, All things Khmer, Cambodia, Cambodia life, That's My World, travel, What's On in Cambodia | 7 comments

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.
