Just another day in Battambang

Met some goats walking down this dirt road. They weren't that talkative.

Many ask me how is BattamBang is and I tell them that it's a country city that I enjoy living in. You really don't get the rush that Phnom Penh gets but that's a good thing. Not only that, but the people move a little slower here and there's not much corruption going on that I see. Maybe it's going on under my nose; but if it is, then I prefer it that way. Finding work here is also a problem and hopefully I can find one soon. That's the reason why I'm able to be on this blog most the time trying to write about the things that's happening here and things that might interest the ones who live here. Beside that, everything seems to run at a normal pace and getting to know new people is a pleasure. So whats going on in your part of the country?

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...

Police Blotter: 14 Nov 2012

It’s a bird, it’s a plane – no, it’s a tuk-tuk driver A quick-thinking tuk-tuk driver turned the tables on a pair of would-be bag snatchers in the wee hours of Monday morning, ending their shenanigans by using his own vehicle as a battering ram. The two villains, 18 and 19, made their move after the driver had picked up a pair of foreign fares at Phnom Penh International Airport. When the teens made their move, the female passenger resisted, giving our tuk-tuk hero the chance to turn his vehicle into the thugs and send them tumbling to the ground. Police have sent the duo to court.
