… that aren’t exactly orange in colour but yellow. These are the popular Battambang oranges, the pride of Battambang province. They are oh-so-sweet.

I love how the spoons are used to hold them and keep them from falling off the basket. Ingenious, right? Lol.

APAD 102: Go In… or not?

I’m late! I’m late! Yet again. And I missed two consecutive weeks of Signs, if I am not mistaken.

No, I’m still here in Cambodia. No, I did not fall in a manhole (or sink hole, knock on wood). I’m just feeling a bit tired and cranky these days. The summer heat is just getting to me and all I want is creep back to my bed and turn the aircon machine on.

Anyhoot, here is my entry.

Go In Hotel. How straight-forward is that? Lol.

I found this hotel sign when my husband and I got lost looking for the plastic chairs shop along Kampuchea Krom area. I had a giggle at the sign. It’s uniquely Khmer, hahaha.

APAD 078: Cushion

I found a photo of my cushions the other day. I took this two years ago when it was just a few days old to keep as reference the next time I buy some stuff for the living room.

It wasn’t my first choice of colour because I thought that they’d get dirty easily. But the colour complemented the curtains in our living room. In fact, it improved the look, giving it a cheery vibe.

APAD 059: Fake?

I really wonder if this is the real-deal. ZARA is a Spanish clothing and accessories brand known by most fashion-conscious people.

apad pseudo zara boutique in Phnom Penh

According to the store’s official website, there are no Zara stores yet in Cambodia so I was really surprised to see this sign. Well, I don’t exactly need to go to ZARA’s store and investigate. The official store signs of ZARA bear only the name “ZARA“, and not “ZARA’s” as displayed in the above picture.
