Happy and Healthy

I love the Hong Kong "touch" on mundane signposts.

Sunday in Hong Kong

There were local elections in Hong Kong today.

It looks like spiritual messages have been turned into brands and advertising

Leaving Phnom Penh

I am always sad to leave Phnom Penh and Cambodia. Between the morning workshop, a lunch with friends and a couple of meetings, I grasped all the moments I could.

Quayside

Esperanto is still in fashion!

the old market

the massive official buildings have blossomed

impressive gate

the unofficial road crossing the dried lake near Tuol Kork

traffic jam at peak time

the first line of bus (here is a bus stop) should address part of the problem...

on the road to the airport

safety first 

this is more usual unfortunately

end of school

irony: two kids on a bike riding in front of luxury car seller... this illustrates the recent economic development of Cambodia 

private school ads- private schools are thriving. I could not catch the add promoting exporting Cambodia manpower abroad

chicken public transport

fashion, food, fun - luxury flats and shopping malls constructions. Even the airport of Phnom Penh that has undergone its third major renovation since 2009 now looks like any other airport.

most signposts are sponsored by Manulife insurance - in Phnom Penh, Prudential got the market.

rice paddies near Battambang

Rice has just been harvested and is drying

I missed the water buffaloes... too hard to take from the bus
