The Daily Grind

They call me the boss lady, but really I'm just a kid at heart.

Life lately has me doing/feeling things that my 24-year-old self would have cringed just thinking about. Cambodia has me drinking coffee and beer, eating vegetables (gasp!), and as you have most probably noticed, loving children!

The Best Iced Coffee In Phnom Penh: A Khmer Breakfast

Early morning runs at the Riverside have become a routine and I was ecstatic when Hannah invited us to have a hearty Khmer breakfast at Phsar Tuol Tom Pong (Russian Market) afterwards. I remember her and my Uncle raving about the iced coffee there. Quite a number of stalls offer iced coffee, but Mr. Bounnareth's is the best by far. He's been giving both the locals and foreigners the caffeine-jiggles for over 30 years now, and it is truly a must try when in Phnom Penh.

On The Road: Oudong Mountain

We had a plan, i.e., leave early for our 2-hour drive from Phnom Penh to Oudong. And we all know that sleep, candy crush, and other distractions trumps plans. Generally, getting on the road at 10AM was a bad idea. Judging from Google Maps we were to catch the sun at its highest point by the time we get to Oudong Mountain, but we were on a mission to get out, drive, and see some stupas.
