Seasonal Fruit

One-time visitors to Cambodia may not notice, but frequently tourists may have noticed that there are 2 kinds of fruits, one is available all-year round (likes banana, pineapple or papaya) and the others is seasonal one. If you arrive at during this time, one of most notable fruit is Wood AppleLimonia acidisima L.), flowering since Feb-March. Wood apple ripens during this time, and generally detaches and falls in the morning, (by high and cold windy weather blows from Siberia). But however, seasonal fruits are plentiful during April, mostly edible wild fruits, and some are available in selected region of the country only.

Another interesting fruit just start to be available is Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), fleshy and juicy inside.

Hello!

Welcome back again. I don't know what to define myself, an occasional blogger, seasonal blogger or else? Got free time, got commitment, oh, that's more, I feel fun time when i blog.

I generally wanna talk something during an cultural event in Cambodia, in fact, if i post after visiting countryside is ways better, otherwise, it's just PP and PP. Cambodia Moon Festival and Boat race are about to begin this weekend. Phnom Penh will pack with people mostly from countryside, while PP'er will travel somewhere else. Oh i imagine what the traffic will be!!! as yet of nowadays, if you drive around rush hour, you know what it feels like, driving in PP, oh, not the main street, it's allover.

Let's talk about the very latest development, in terms of regional level, There now ASEAN Charter, just sign in this year ASEAN summit in Singapore. Khmer Rouge first public hearing, oh, that's a progress at least.

Don't like politics? Development? Er...Cambodia GDP now, oh it pass 1$ per day of GNP per capita Hoeuy. There's 42 story building in now construction in PP, a few more taller building into the skyline at least. Now, not anymore Toyota and Toyota like in ten years before, you can now see Bugatti, Hummer H1 H2 H3, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Mini's too are on the road.

Catch up with tech? New SSD Harddisk is not yet on sale as well the Hybrid one, ( but, hey, who cares? i don't have vista te). What it will be in 2020? couldn't imagine yet. New Phone Model? Nokia 8800 Arte/Sapphire Arte (Oh what a phone! - it surprise both price and elegance design) iPhone-like is now starting to roll out. Oh iPhone also in shops in PP.

Me? I just get myself a few new book to read. "The World is Flat" ( in fact it's not a very recent one, but the new paperback edition is here).

Oh, i should add some picture. i will next time.

this and that

My whole life believe in good things. I have faith. I do enjoy the theories of Jean Paul Satre. I have read some old classic, like Republic, Plato.

I have read the last harry potter book, i give thumb-up for the author JK Rowling for this nice ending plot. I spent 2 full days to finish it off. What a surprise is that it is on sale same day as the global launch day, but it is too pricey that i'm wondering how many children can afford one here?

Let's talk about this PIM workshop, and the next big event Cambodia "clogger" summit at the end of this month, ( I really want to joint, but it on workday, so...); the great barrier, i think, the high price of hooking online, how many people can afford to subscribe from home? how many free public internet access? But i'm really happy to see the growing number, the growing interest, since the word "Blog" is the word of the year.

The popular election is less than a year and there are many fresh voter. I'm talking about Online Campaign, (will there be one?).
