chronicles continued...

really cant resist posting up these photos..some because they were so well taken! others because they are beautiful memories..

day 14 & 15: phnom penh, undoubtably the most developed city in cambodia. busy streets..but still you wont be able to see any tall buildings anywhere. there are many vehicles on the road but still, you wont be able to see any marking dividers or zebra crossings..even traffic lights are rare sights.


me and fengyi, behind is the royal palace..urps..a bit small eh..


tonle sap river behind

wine cellar

wine tasting: pretending we know a lot about wine..haha we're certainly enjoying life. wine is cheap! i bought a bottle of white wine for $10.


a pic of our reflections: can u tell i'm the one taking this photo?


i took this as well! attempting to be artistic. liangguo praying.

killing fields: remnants of the khmer rouge, the dark side of mankind

skulls dug out from the mass graves

genocide museum

barbed wire: to prevent prisoners from jumping and committing suicide


iron bars to lock prisoners' legs

if you've studied the history before, you'll realise that cambodia is a really really sad place...there has been so much suffering here...


eating fried bananas..tasted a little..weird..but still alright..behind us is russian market, shopping paradise!


it's flooding, the car is sinking, and i'm soaked to the bones.


thankfully we managed to get a tuktuk!

day 16 & 17: sihanoukville, the beach..





being harrassed by a boy, to buy his fruits. these kids are everywhere, adults too..selling fruits, sarongs, seafood...even services like manicures and pedicures! all the girls had pedi and mani done for US$3.


bikini babes


snorkelling




chilling out in the guys' room.

day 18: kampot, lovely lovely place





going up the mountain


wind running through our souls


hiding from the sand storm




what are we looking at?


looking at this! the view can only be described as spectacular, although you cant really tell from here..it literally takes your breath away..


hail the world! PA 7!


it used to be a casino cum guesthouse until it was taken over by the khmer rouge and used as a prison. left in semi-ruins state now...




peering over the edge


at the top of the world


jumping for joy


as the night approaches...


love by the bay




the furthest point

day 19 & 20: back to phnom penh and home sweet home

central market behind..another shopping paradise!


van-load of backpacks


at phnom penh airport, and discovered that i didnt close my shampoo properly and it leaked in the compartment of my backpack.




home...will always be home...no matter what..
