    G'day folks! This was a vid from 2023. Kinal gives us a rundown of the Pchum Ben festival. Whilst it's out of the way, this place is special for the family as we were here after Kinal's mum passed in 2019, and the remains of a lot of her family members are kept here too. Hope you enjoy this little vid!

    What is price of 5kg rice?

    • @MarcsMildlyInteresting
      @MarcsMildlyInteresting 2 місяці тому

      The internet tells me that 1kg of rice is around 50c (USD) or 2200 Riel. No idea how accurate this is as never bought rice to cook in Cambodia. Cheers!

    Australia really does have high standards when it comes to rubbish and littering. Probably the first thing I noticed was a grown woman throw her empty bottle on the ground like it’s nothing. 😂 I’m completely immune to it now

      G'day Paul - agree mate, we have it good and unless we see how the other side live/operate, it's hard to get the appreciation on how good we have it. I'm the same too - I use to arc up the sight of a little rubbish fire, but once you have the perspective you just got to go with the flow! Cheers mate!

    Funny, I did do that...wash the codeine down with a six pack.... I was there, on Taphul Rd a couple of weeks before this vlog was filmed...went to the Try Me place...very good, Khmer restaurant, and Himalayan resto, also the French Cafe...yeah, Brown Cafe is in Kampot, also...never went, because it just looked expensive....I will be coming back to Cambodia next year, from Australia...take my Khmer lady to Siem Reap....nice to see so many Aussie ex pats in Siem Reap...alot in Kampot, also. Cheers.

      G'day mate! Ah there you go - how did you feel after that combo of beers and pain killers hehe?? This was filmed back in September 2023 - It's a nice little neighbourhood isn't it! We went to Try Me a few times but never to the Himalayen place - Was tempted by it a few times so we must check it out next time we are there. You are spot on about Brown Coffee - it's pricy and not worth the extra $$ compared to a lot of the other joints. Do you travel back to KH often with your missus? Cheers and thanks for watching!

      Agree 100& - there is so much charm/character about peoples homes in Cambo. Much more interesting than the west to be fair. Sounds like you have spent a bit of time in Cambodia? How often do you get there? Cheers!

      G'day mate! That is a very flattering comment - thanks so much for the kind words! I just do this for fun and to document our time in Cambo with the family. I know for sure my vids are not planned and have no real purpose apart from putting a few smiles on dials...and my titles and thumbnails are shithouse too 🤣! Glad you enjoyed the vid and hope you enjoy the others on the channel too! Are you based in Cambo or elsewhere? Cheers mate!!
