What's new?

By
So now that I was able to get some complicated matters out of my life, it's giving me the time to pick up my phone and start getting this blog afloat again. But before I go on, i must warn that some of my information is based on how I perceive it not may not be entirely true. Not saying that what I write down may not help you, just saying it's straight forward and those that find my information useful are welcome to do so. For those who want to know, this blog is mainly personal experiences and mainly about places in and around Battambang. Since I've not been writing for a while, a lot of my information may be incorrect and I would like to apologize for that. I will be updating old places and adding new things and places that have popped up since I've been gone and trust me, lots of things have popped up giving our foreign friends more to do while passing through this nice country side town.


On another thought, I can tell you that Battambang has changed for the better. Lots of new spots have risen and new additions of entertainment have been added.  I want to highlight a few that I think are interesting. First on list.
1. Paintball is now in Battambang. The paintball club in BTB is headed by Iaan who is also owner of Ambrosia which is located next to the White Rose on street #2. For some, this might not be your cup of tea but if you really think about it, why would you not want to wage war on your friends and come out laughing at the end. It's a nice feature.
2. 4 years ago, many items were hard to get here in Battambang. But with places Iike Heng Cheyly and other mini marts who cater to forieners have made it easier for lots who need those special household items to be able to get them.
3. Also. I would like to talk about trend. Trend is something that these young Cambodians should be able to experience and enjoy. As much as its looked down upon here in Cambodia,  tattoos are starting to pick up. Even if it's rich young khmer guys bringing in their girlfriends to brand em for themselves or tourist looking for fresh ink, can now do so. Konsva Tattoos has now established a shop right next to Madison Corner which is located on 2.5 street. Konsva Tattoo artist So Kush is a young man on a rise. He's hungry has been recognized by Tatt2u magazine.  He is also doing silk screening and piercings.
4. Speaking upon trend,  their has become a rise in cannabis smokers in Cambodia telling me that herb is always a good thing to have around. Hey, don't judge me, your probably am old hippie haha but anyways, I have seen many odd tee shirts floating around lately.  GG showing sayings like "goodgreen" and pics of weed leaves on them. I mean they do look nice though and why not purchase one if you seen them, they look cool.
Over all, I'm a casual writer and I just like blurtiing out my thoughts so and telling ot how it is. Some call me to blunt but sometimes, even when we know the truth hurts,  we have to let the ones we love know what's up or help them to see what's  right and wrong.

Gecko Cafe In Battambang

By
                        (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: 23 Nov 2012

By
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. Kampuchea Thmey Abused wife does what neighbours couldn’t A fed-up wife finally had enough of her abusive husband yesterday, dropping the dime on her sadistic spouse of several years. Police in Banteay Meanchey’s Thmar Pouk district said the 44-year-old man, now sitting in a jail cell awaiting trial, had been beating his wife for some time, occ...

The White Rose in Battambang

By
 The White Rose is Khmer owned and is located on the corner of St 121 and Road 2.5. This place serves good Khmer dishes for reasonable prices and some western foods. They also serve some of the best shakes in town. This place has a balcony, patio area which visitors can sit and watch the streets below where vendors sell their wares to those walking the streets. The White Rose also has a nice desert menu and ice cream that reminds me of home. This place also offers free Wi-Fi. Cleanness When the day starts of here, the place is set nice, with your typical glass, silver ware wrapped in cloth and set up nicely on the tables. I guess when this place gets real busy, the place starts looking neglected due to short of workers and the many things that are going on. To me, I think the place is under staffed and would probably run better if they were up to pace with workers. But besides that, everything else is typical Cambodia so if you don't mind that, then everything s...
