I’ve been inside this government compound only once or twice. Although it doesn’t look big, the national television, TVK, is also housed inside this compound.

This is one of the signs that tell you that the Cambodian-Vietnamese border is close by. My husband initially thought this shack was selling hotdogs, lol.

I read the Khmer script on top of the Vietnamese writing (I studied how to read and write long ago but can only read simple words, like the ones written on the sign). The Khmer translation for the Vietnamese phrase “hot toc” is “kak sok”, meaning, hair cut.

This past weekend, my husband and I went on an impromptu road trip to the Cambodian border town of Bavet, in Svay Rieng province. Bavet is one of the several international border crossing on the Cambodian side; it’s counterpart is Moc Bai, in Tay Ninh province of Vietnam. Cambodian visas are available there.

The road to Bavet from Phnom Penh is in good condition, thanks to the road project years before. Like any other border towns in Cambodia, the streets of Bavet are lined with casinos, massage and karaoke parlours.

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.
