Stroll Along Cambodia's Street ... (part 1)


strolling along streets in cambodia- ..
sure, you'll find lots of things different back way home, but this is cambodia, people- there's shouldnt be any expectation on how it should be look .. he3x ...

these pictures represent some of popular gas station in town- TOTAL gas station, which dominate in red color & TELA gas station, which opposite color in green.
Each of place got its own boutique shop?! .. or should we call it- stop by place ...
not sure really, how to call it- it's the stop over place, where u can find out ur needs in urgently / short term needed.

well... sometimes they provide some groceries too, but not to be expected!

behind TOTAL gas station, as u can see .. there's giant ?? .. it's water tank of the city-
yups, ANZ is quite popular in here .. they took most of strategic place for their advertising.
in fact, they build up their own teritory around Cambodia so much as well-

you'll find it more than 10 branches inside Cambodia itself. Enough with their promotion- we're getting to other place of interest.
Not all places provide you food, as easily as in Thailand ... it would need certain places or corner where you can find food.
people, next here- selling fruit juice & beef satay!
fruit juice, that they sell is mixed of any kind of fruits available + milk + egg ! ... yummy, taste sort of strange & tickling inside my mouth...
the beef satay, i was mentioned- was more like minced beef & they made it to satay.
they grilled outside, to attrack walkers to stop by & enjoy the food-drinks!

last story for this time, ended up with tryin fast food ala street -
they sell in a motorbike, along with the display itself- kinda creative, though ...
variety from sausages to crab imitation - as in japanese food ... choose n fried at that moment, and you can enjoy it in short time too ...

it took only 500 riels for each stick, which in each stick u'll have around 4 to 5 small pieces.

Weekend with Preap Sovath ...

hiyaaa... you must be wondering, who's Preap Sovath? .. what's so special about him?..
well, first of all - he ain't that handsome looking guy. Besides, he's still a nice guy-
He's one of the famous singer in Cambodia - 30's something & got good looking wife, with kids ..

ehemm.. ehmm... i wasn't really spending time with him .. 'cause i met him while i'm having dinner at his restaurant, on weekend. and later on, i met part of his families, and we have dinner together. ??? it was all by coincidence, i sat on my table & they're welcoming guest (since they open recently) and it flows just like that - we ended up talking & sharing experience and having good time!!

it didn't end up only that night, continues to next morning day - ... i went to visit the hair saloon, whom his sister in law manage it. The place is mixed with wedding clothes rental & tailoring, kinda messy- for my perspective view. But looks that business doin' good!
it was a surprise that most customer of hair saloon are men - so, i end up to be the only women inside! even the hair stylist are men! all of them!

cutting wasn't that bad- in fact, they give me lots of layers.. bit changes on the look, quite okay-
and it was really affordable, only 600o riels .. which means around 1,5 bucks only!
give it a try!
