APAD 224: Cambodian border crossing in Bavet
Here is the Cambodian immigration office at the border in Bavet.
The central building is the main immigration office and it showcases the classical Khmer style of architecture. I’ve been here three times previously to go to Vietnam – the last one being in 2003. I was really surprised to see the huge change when I came here two weeks ago. From the muddy field and tiny shack that used to be where immigration formalities are done, it is now a sprawling area with several booths for border-crossers to have their passports stamped and this fantastic building where the Cambodian immigration officers work.

Found this fat and lazy free-loader eating up all the green goodness out of my roses!

APAD 218: Yellow line
Where does this double yellow line lead you to?
This road is a part of the National Road 1, from Phnom Penh leading to the provinces of Prey Veng and Svay Rieng. Taken last weekend while on a road trip to the Cambodian border town of Bavet in Svay Rieng province.
APAD 217: Deja brew?
Here’s one snapshot of the many coffee shops that have mushroomed in the city. This shop has a cute name and sign – deja brew. The shop looks nice from the outside but I wonder if the coffee is any good. I still prefer the coffee – iced coffee – sold in the local restos and markets.
One newly-arrived expat I know commented that she enjoyed going to a different coffee shop every day.

APAD 216: Cambodian athlete
I was on a tuk-tuk and saw this young lady driving a moto. She slowed down beside the tuk-tuk when the light turned red, and that’s when I read the back of her backpack that I realised she is a national athlete. I decided to chat her up.
She is bound to Jakarta on Dec 11, she told me, as an official delegate of Cambodia to this year’s the SEA Paralympic Games. She will compete in athletics (running). I don’t know if you can see in the pic but she is using a prosthetic on her right leg.
Good luck to her and to the whole Cambodian delegation. Cheyor, Cambodia!
