Apart from visiting the Royal Palace, there was also a trip to the National Museum next door (no cameras allowed – lots of archaeological stuff inside) and another stop at the post office as the stamps purchased last week didn’t stick (apparently a common problem – they have glue tubes at the ready). This of course means more walking around, and more street scenes. It was a cloudy day with a nice breeze, which made good touristing bat mediocre photographing.
Garden in the middle of the road
National monument
Vietnam – Cambodia friendship monument (the Vietnamese invaded to boot out the Khmer Rouge)
Khmer-style building
Council of ministers building
Stop sign – very few of these about, probably good as they are ignored anyway
Old colonial building – apparently the FCC (Foreign Correspondents Club – classyish place to hang out) have bought it and will fix it up, which is good
National Museum – Australia helped fix the roof in about 2000
Copy painter – you can see what he’s copying from at the top right of the magazine page
Mass production
The last remaining tuktuk style – I think these are of Russian origin, and they generally look fairly tatty like this one
Good example of local car bling – big sticker on the side saying what it is, plus chrome petrol cap cover, plus chrome tail light addon; rare thing is that it’s not a Lexus or a regular Landcruiser
I think she doesn’t want her turn
The Toyota Charade?
