Multi tasking. Vendor, Spruiker, Money handler, Chef, Dish washer and porter all rolled into one.
Central Market, unsurprisingly located quite centrally.
Pig ears cut into strips on skewers, ready to barbeque. These are a GREAT beer snack or idle finger food. YUM.
Great eggs here at the market
Central market inside the dome - lots of jewellery, gems, clothes inside.
Outside central market there are a lot of food, produce and flower vendors
barbequed fish
Cuttlefish ready for the bbq
Beef noodles being done outside at the market on a nice clean hot griddle.
YUM!
It always pays to befriend the local sausage handlers
And as well as getting a good deal on your sausage, the smiles are thrown in for free
Unlucky frogs, jumping in the vendor's net
Always interesting cityscapes in Phnom Penh
Cactuses on my balcony. So sue me.
I'd sound too pretentious if I talked about colours, angles and textures across an Indochinese skyline, so here are some "roof shots" from near my apartment.
The look says it all
I just love these fruit photos.
Not exactly Australian standards of butchery (unless you come from Nyngan or Bourke)
If this wasn't so gory and bloodsoaked, it would be quite artistic. Fish head on a lotus leaf
Chicken, anybody? She seems to be in a fowl mood, waiting for customers as the chickens broil away in the oppressively humid shade
Central market looks elaborate inside, downright nasty and old from outside, and like a slum around the sides
Baguettes and a few baked items
Lots of great little Vietnamese pho shops everywhere.
"What"? "I said, someone is taking your PHOTO"
Three Monks.
Monks on the move. LOTS of monks walking through Phnom Penh all the time.
Typical city centre street
A selection of roofing styles. Take your pick. (or, budget!)
Sgar cane on a side street in the city centre
Frogs on Ice. It sounds like a bizarre Disney Musical set at a giant rink.
lotus tubers
live fresh fish. It is a bit strange using both words in the same sentence.
dead fresh fish.
More frogs, now skinned and ready to go
The meat market? This is hardly patpong! Better to get in early. (In both venues)
More frogs
A photo which I would like to entitle "lady amongst oranges" because I am becoming a pretentious arthouse Pratt
If it wont fit in the car, then put it on the bike!
Great place for a rainy day.
