Phnom Penh: 20 Aug 2003 | ||||
At The Lake |
||||
A rainy morning at Boeung Kak Lake.. Much of the fringe of the lake is overgrown with hyacinths. The view is northwards from the newly opened Smiles Guesthouse, with a striking glimpse of the roof and minaret of the International Mosque. |

Offerings |
||||
A strange looking offering bowl... filled with sweets! |
||||
Mother & Child |
||||
Living up to the name... the family of the Smiles Guesthouse |
||||
Narrow Streets |
||||
Exploring the streets around Boeung Kak Lake is very difficult by car, especially more so in a Mercedes Benz. The narrow streets leave little room for errors. The man is selling rice noodles. |
||||
Backpackers and Bandits |
||||
The locale around Boeung Kak Lake is famous for the many budget guesthouses, which attract backpackers and bandits alike. A place to avoid at night. Abuse drugs are commonly available here too. |
||||
Grafitti or Advertisment ? |
||||
The walls line the street are tastefully graffitied with colourful advertisements of guesthouses, cheap cafes and tattoo shops. |
||||
Martian Juice |
||||
Dare you to drink this ? |
