Ho Chi Minh City is a delightful place to go to. There is so much happening in every direction that you’ll surely miss a thing when you blink. The sea of motorists – and the sound of the horns – is just overwhelming.

However, robbery/snatching is a major dampener to a tourists visiting there! So please, please, be very careful when going there. Leave your valuables at the hotel. Don’t trot around with your fancy phones and camera. Take it from me. It happened to me ten years ago when I first went there. It happened again to my friend on our visit last month. Apparently, some things never change 🙁

I wonder if this yellow postbox has a different lease rate compared to the regular wooden boxes (partially seen) like mine.

This giant crab sign welcomes you to the beachtown of Kep in the southern coast of Cambodia. It is beckoning visitors to enjoy its laidback and chill atmospher, to partake of its bountiful seafoods.

Signs, signs: Inclusivity

Epic Arts in Cambodia works to change people’s attitude towards disability and encourage the belief that every person counts.

A month ago, my husband and I visited Kampot. During this time, we had breakfast at our favourite cafe. Since it was early and there were not many customers yet, I had a chance to go up and check out the second floor (first floor, for the locals) and was really amazed at the things I found there. Above is one of the signs that decorate the interiors of Epic Arts Cafe in Kampot.

This is the second floor of Epic Arts Cafe. I’ve been there many times but this was the first time I’ve checked it out and took photos because it’s always full of customers prior to this visit.

Chok-full of Goodness. Chok is a young man with Down syndrome and the artwork on the left is his self-portrait.

Epic Arts Cafe is a project of Epic Arts with the aim of providing opportunities for people with disabilities to work as well as a place to hang-out.  The cafe also houses a little shop showcasing the many artworks of the many young disabled people in their Arts Centre. It is one of the popular spots especially for foreign visitors in Kampot and it stands proudly as a model for an inclusive working environment in the community.
