Love Power Café & The Royal Palace

May 25 - Lunch at the Love Power Café with Chakrya (1 of Christina's Khmer tutors), Andrea, Rachel (C's housemate), a lady from Holland who also works at International Cooperation Cambodia with C & R (I forget her name) and Christina. (Clockwise from bottom left).

This is where I had my very 1st Bubble Milk Tea. I think I had the mango one (perhaps that wasn't a real bubble milk tea, but it tasted VERY GOOD)! They served them in these huge and wonderful Christmas mugs. (With the temperature being a very humid 35 degrees C, it just didn't seem to feel very Christmas-y, but at least the drinks were nice and cold)!
At the Royal Palace on May 26. Hmmm, I think it looks like it's going to rain ...
Uh ... yup, torrential rain!

It brought out the beautiful green! And that river in the foreground ... that's really a road!


I love the landscaping designs!
The background is a Buddhist Temple. There were a number of monks there, some of whom were just boys - so sad to see them getting caught up in it so young.

Christina posing like the dancers do. The hat is part of the costume they perform in.

Various instruments ...




Statue of a king on horseback (I can't recall if it's the present king or a previous one).
On the way home, we had a wonderful dinner at a Khmer restaurant that is one of Christina's favourites. I didn't get a picture of it though.
