Police Blotter: 23 Nov 2012

Kiddie robbery should have been child’s play It was like taking candy from a baby or, more precisely, a necklace from a 4-year-old. The crime took place on Wednesday when an apparently conscience-free 20-something approached the young victim as he was using a swing set in Phnom Penh’s Daun Penh district. Police said the tike, enjoying a relaxing afternoon with dad, had been left momentarily unattended when the cad in question came up and talked him out of his jewellery. Thankfully, pops looked up in time to see the transaction go down and immediately called for help. The callous crim was quickly collared and is now awaiting court.

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

(Updated) The Gecko has moved to street #1 and is now called The Kitchen. Food Gecko Cafe is located on the corner of Street 3 and 119. The place sits atop Gecko Moto's. I visit this place lot's of times during my stay in Battambang and when it comes to wanting a little western taste, this is one of my favorite spots. They serve good western food including burgers, pizza, salads and more. They also have Mexican food ranging from tacos to burritos and more. The Taco salad I had last was great and reminded me of home a little. Also, being in Cambodia, you can't forget about the Khmer dishes. I haven't tried alot of Khmer food here but I can say that the fried rice was good. They also serve some alcohol drinks. Besides being a little pricey for the locals, the money you pay for food here is well worth it. So enjoy! Service Ano...

Battambang Museum Angkorian spendours

Can't get enough of Cambodia's ancient relics? Battambang museum offers an excellent display of sculptures and sandstone carvings, mostly items that have been removed from Cambodia's various temples. The pieces seem to be arranged in no particular order with little regard to age or temple origin. With its great central location, cheap admission fee of $1 and magnificent Angkorian works of art, it's definitely a great place to spend an hour or two (if it's open). The friendly staff cannot speak English, though each relic has a sign denoting century and origin. No photos permitted inside the museum. More details River road, centre of town Opening Hours: Daily 08:00-11:00 and 14:00-17:00
