Day 28 photo (final image): The final image for this series. Captured the other night, it shows people dumping rubbish in a pile on the street for it to be sorted, collected and then taken away by rubbish collectors. Anything useful or that can be resold such as cardboard or recyclable material is separated to be sold. Photo info: D700, 50mm, f2, 1/40, ISO720

Day 27 photo: Eating dinner at the market. Took a stroll around the market at 6.30pm, when most of the sellers had packed up shop for the day and people are heading home or going out for dinner. This mother was eating dinner with her young son. Photo info: D700, 50mm, f2, 1/40, ISO640

Day 25 photo: Waiting for the lights to turn green at a busy intersection in Phnom Penh. Traffic is mainly moto’s (50cc – 125cc scooters). Often companies will hand out leaflets at the lights and surprisingly everyone will accept the leaflet and read it as opposed to in Australia where we often dismiss people handing out leaflets.

Day 17 photo: Limes and oranges for sugar cane drinks You can find sugar cane juice from little street carts all over Cambodia (and other countries). It’s basically crushed sugar cane to extract the juice, sometimes they will add in limes and other flavours. Then they pour the juice into a small plastic bag with ice, pop a straw in and there you have it – a take away sugar can juice drink. All for about 20 cents. It’s very sweet.

Day 16 photo: Coconut seller polishing his coconuts Coconuts are more dangerous than sharks. Falling coconuts kill 150 people every year which is 10 times the number of people killed by sharks. There are more than 20 billion coconuts produced each year. This means that only 1 in every 133.33 million coconuts are lethal.

Day 15: Lucky Burger. Please bear with me as I explain the story of how I got this photo … Currently, there are no McDonald’s restaurants in Cambodia. The closest thing is either Lucky Burger or BB World. There are a few Lucky Burger stores located around Phnom Penh. When we first arrived in Cambodia, we signed up for a Lucky Card. Whenever you shop at a Lucky Supermarket, you give them your card and you get points. The conversion rate is $1 = 0.1 points. You can redeem your points once you have 50, 100, 200 or 500 points. For accumulating 50 points, you get a $5 gift voucher which you can use at Lucky Burger. We finally got to 50 points after 10 months of living in Cambodia (yes, that’s spending $500 on groceries to get a $5 gift voucher) and I happily set off to Lucky Burger to spend it. The picture below shows what I got for our efforts of grocery shopping. It consists of:

Day 11: Apartment building near Phsar Thmey (Central Market). Taken in the late afternoon. Many apartment buildings in Phnom Penh were built in the 1960′s and look similar to this. They have a similar layout with a living area, kitchen at the back and bathroom with one or two bedrooms in the middle. There is one long walkway along the side of the apartment to access the rooms and there are generally only windows at the front and back. Often, three, four or five stories tall with a balcony, these apartments with variation on exterior style are very common around central Phnom Penh.

Day 7 photo: Sleeping cyclo driver. “Cambodia’s iconic cyclos are dwindling with decreased demand from residents in the capital, Phnom Penh, but drivers are hoping an increased tourist trade will help them survive. The three-wheeled cyclo, with its bucket seat between the two front wheels for the passengers, and the driver perched high up behind them above the rear wheel, pedalling away, was brought to Cambodia by the French 70 years ago. Ten years ago, 9,000 drivers made their livings pedalling cyclos around the capital – today there are just 1,300.” (source)

As volunteers in Cambodia one of the things we love doing is going out for breakfast or brunch on the weekends. We have a few favourite spots that have a great cooked breakfast or coffee that we frequent regularly but we also love discovering new places. Today’s photo is of Kelly holding her cup of coffee. We went to Le Jardin and had breakfast with two of our friends. Interesting breakfast related facts:

Day 3 photo: A khmer man texting on his phone. Here are some interesting bits of information on the mobile phone market in Cambodia. Between 2009 and 2010, the number of mobile-phone connections in Cambodia more than doubled, leaping from 4.2 million telephone numbers to 8.5 million, according to the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications. Six years ago, when far fewer network providers did business, there were only 690,000. In 2006, Cambodia was host to three mobile-phone service providers, but by the end of 2010, there were nine.
