It has been more than a week since I last blogged!
I have been very busy with work, traveling to Kuala Lumpur (the capital of Malaysia) and Phnom Penh (the capital of Cambodia) in the last 10 days. Will be back to Phnom Penh again tomorrow, and I am now in Seam Reap, the place famous for its Angkor Wat.
Actually, my work requires me to be in Phnom Penh tomorrow till next Tuesday. Since 01 May was Labour Day, I seized the opportunity to fly into Seam Reap and check out Angkor Wat before going to Phnom Penh.
I am putting up at a place called Molly Malone’s. It’s an Irish pub as well as a guesthouse (a kind-of 2-star hotel. Check out http://www.mollymalonescambodia.com/). It is very Irish indeed. My room is small but cozy. Molly Malone’s is situated right in the middle of night-life happenings! From my room, I can hear the music and people having a good time on the street. The street is full of pubs, restaurants, souvenir shops and internet cafe. It costs USD0.75 to get online for an hour.
Red Piano is a restaurant across the road, teeming with tourists. So, not wanting to miss out the fun, I sat at a table all by myself just for the experience, and ordered myself a cup of coffee and a chocolate pancake. This is what it looks like:
A group of Koreans had their eyes wide open seeing my pancake when they walked past my table. LOL. It’s about 1 foot in diameter. But honestly, it didn’t taste as good as it was described on the menu.
I will get back to the “suspension chords” when I am home. I can’t continue when I am oversea, since I need to capture photos of my hand on the piano to illustrate the chords.
