Employee work life at Khmer land (Phnom Penh)


Swapped mainly to youtube shorts due to easier access via handphone and also by short video recordings.

Life is pretty convenient. Stay is <5min walk to office, with kitchen. Meal voucher can be used anytime of the day = lunch is covered. Only need to work on breakfast - oat / soy /calsome with fruits + simple dinner. Prep meals makes things even more easier.

So far covered , Preah Sisowach Quay - walk along the Tonle Sap river side. Walked all over Phnom Penh within 2-3 km radius. First place, pass by Phnom Wat, go down along the road down to Royal palace, Musuem i think and Wat ounalom , Silver Pagoda and back with sun burn. Surveyed around markets in the area, Lucky supermarkets, Aeon Maxvalue , Chip Mong and Bayon market all in vicinity to replenish cooking groceries.

Unit with attached kitchen makes things easy for cooking, was worried about hotel with no kitchen. Only less favorable thing is no washer in room , but hotel got me covered with 30pcs free washing per week. So what's left.. work , dealing with OTBs and finding way to hold on for next 6 months hopefully. 

Never short of food and plenty to get from road side at cheap too. Exercise daily, gym and IG routines, swimming on weekends where weather permits. Was trying to get to Douglas Hope cruise ship , but yesterday told unfortunately it is now at Vietnam for next 3 months. Pass by on way back to street art alongside the municipal buildings street. Its sort of a cul de sac , very quiet and calm place compared to standard hustle bustle of phnom phen streets.

Next may try to get to National Library on one of those public holidays. The library oddly closes on weekends , so can't try to attempt and get in there. Probably running out of things to do soon.  

Been to Central market (obviously) , Orussey market , Old market and Phsar Kandal. Very similar wet market and indoor market scenes in Asian setting. Not sure how cheap things can be, since i dont need to buy any of these , not yet at the moment. Next is to study and plan out on Siem Reap/Angkor wat trip :)
