APAD 006: “Donated by”
This sign stands out amidst the greeneries inside Kirirom National Park. This marble-ish sign in gold text shows the names of those generous individuals who donated for the construction (if not repair) and beautification of a nearby wat (temple).
These people are mostly Cambodians abroad as well as local businessmen who, by donating a generous amount, automatically become patrons of the said wat. If yo look closer at the second pic (below) you will see that the texts are written in the Khmer script; the donors’ names on the left and, on the right, the corresponding donations in Khmer numbers but in terms of USDs.
Closer view.
In other villages, this kinds of signs are also painted on temple gates with one donor assigned per “block” of wall, depending on the amount donated. I shall try to get a photo of this one the next time I go to the countryside.
APAD 366 (001): Where in the world is Chuck Norris?
Is anyone familiar with this funny search trick for Chuck Norris on Google? This is a trick I’ve known for a while and it has been in circulation for a long time already. No one? Okay, well, allow me… Follow this instructions.
In your computer, open your favorite web browser and then go to Google Search homepage. In the Google search bar, type “find Chuck Norris” into then press “I’m Feeling Lucky” button. Now, let’s see what search result do you get?
Did you get this?
Cool trick, eh?
Now, if you’re still looking for Chuck Norris there’s no need to go through lengths of searching on the Internet.
Chuck Norris Dimsum House — he is, after all, right here in Phnom Penh!
Wow, Chuck Norris in Phnom Penh? Chopping meats and veggies and what-have-yous for dimsum dishes instead of karate chops and roundhouse kicks.
I’ve never been there yet so I cannot confirm his presence nor the food offerings at Chuck Norris Dimsum House, lol. What I did see while passing by was a black and white wall painting of good, ole Chuck in full battle gear inside the dimsum house. Now I don’t want that machine gun pointed at me if I eat there, do you? Unsettling, lol.
I’m so tempted to share with you a Chuck Norris joke (there are lots on the Internet!) I heard from an American colleague so here it is:
There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
Lol. I hope you’ll have a nice weekend.
By the way, I just finished my project 365! Woohoo! It took a whole lot longer because I didn’t post on Saturdays and Sundays (my rest days) and there are weeks where I don’t post every day. Nevertheless I am very happy to have finished one cycle. Today is the beginning of the next. Instead of APAD 366, this will be APAD 001 Cycle 2 🙂
APAD 361: Horrific
This week’s entry is a little bit somber as I post one of the signs I saw during a visit to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek.
A thought-provoking sign that sends shivers to my spine. This photo is originally uploaded to my other blog, Sreisaat Adventures.
For more photos and information about this sign, kindly head over to my post at Sreisaat Adventures.
APAD 356: What do you mean you don’t know?
Have you ever seen a sign that makes you go… “seriously?” Well, this sign below fits into that category. Can you guess where this is? My brother found this while strolling at Otres Beach in Sihanoukville, Cambodia’s beachtown.
What do you mean you don’t know? Lol.
My brother was sorry he couldn’t tell me if the food there was any good (they walked past to go to another restaurant) but he said it’s picture-perfect and you can find humour in the restaurant’s name for sure.
A Silver Finish!
