Free Ice lemon tea :)

 Last Sunday I went to the Christmas Fair at the Intercontinental Hotel here in Phnom Penh Cambodia. That's 2 Christmas Fairs so far :) I went with a friend, we first had breakfast around Russian Market, and it was a lovely day. The fair was really good. Different individuals, organisations, shops and boutiques had tables displaying products they were selling. There were different things on display- and all were very very beautiful. Items ranged from scented candles to cool looking metal geckos, but mostly there was jewelry..everywhere..and most of it was hand made. I gotta say, there are some pretty creative people out there. There were so many other things, baby stuff, clothes, ceramics etc etc .

How cool are these?Seriously?!





Old woman with saggy boobs :)

I liked this one.

A choir sang Christmas songs and 2 children sang a song in Swahili- what are the odds? It felt so good to understand what they were saying..lol. There was a woman dressed up as santa ..though I donno if she was like the official santa for the event or she just decided to dress up as santa ...lol. I saw a woman who carried her baby in a funny looking baby carrier..it basically looked like a back pack. So at first glance its like..omg that woman has stuffed her baby in a back pack!!But looking closely it was actually a baby carrier..hehe still looked funny. I had to take a picture.







LOL


How cute?



The highlight of the whole thing was the raffle draws. They were selling raffle tickets for a dollar.but the prices to be won were ridiculous!! An Ipad2, a trip for 2 to Singapore, Hanoi and Hong Kong all expenses paid, dinner at Raffles hotel, 3 nights stay at Veranda Kep, Dinner at Sofitel, wine vouchers, etc etc. What?! I couldn't believe it..such wonderful prices, and obviously I did not win anything :( Oh well.

After exploring for ages, my friend and I decided to go to Sovana mall,which is walking distance from the Intercontinental Hotel, for a cool down. We got there and decided to go to Secret Recipe because they have   good tasting cakes that I have always wanted to try. So we looked at the cakes (they all looked yummy) and although it took a while to decide, we were ready to order. Then we were surprised to learn that they had an offer: Any purchase of a slice of cake form 3pm-6pm came with free tea or coffee. We both chose tea and our cakes came with free Ice lemon tea- just what we needed after the walk from Intercon in the hot sun! The cakes were delicious!My friend chose the chocolate mud slice and I got the fudge cake or something..jeez I can't remeber :( Anyway for $3.00 a piece plus free ice lemon tea, it was a good deal. Did I say the cakes were delicious?


This is the chocolate mud cake..it was yummy!My friend got it.


I got the.. chocolate fudge?Still yummy but I liked my friend's better LOL

Racism in Cambodia.

Follow my Instagram  maggie_hon for snippets of my life in Cambodia and some of my travel adventures. Black people are discriminated against generally in all of Asia. I have heard horror stories from China, Hong Kong, Thailand etc. Black Africans experience the worst kind of racism in these countries. I have personally experienced racism in so many aspects of my life here in Cambodia and I will talk about it here for two reasons. 1) To spread awareness and 2) It is the issue I get asked most about in emails. 1. Visa on arrival at the Phnom Penh International Airport. Cambodia is one of the easiest countries to enter. Majority of passport holders do not need to have a visa before hand, Kenya (and many other African countrues) included. One just needs to apply for a business or tourist visa on arrival at the airport when they land. A tourist visa costs $30 and a business visa slightly more.  BUT  if you are an African passport holder, the immigration at the Phnom Penh...

Follow my Instagram  maggie_hon for snippets of my life in Cambodia and some of my travel adventures. Hey lovelies, so I will write a couple of late posts that I should have written a million months ago. Late last year I got to go to Malaysia for a weekend getaway with two of my girlfriends and we had so much fun.  My girlfriends I absolutely love African food and African music and I know there is a big African community in Kuala Lumpur, and where there’s an African community, there is bound to be a couple of African Restaurants. And by African restaurants I really mean Nigerian Restaurants :D See in any African Expat community, Nigerians always make up the majority, so in any given country there’s bound to be a couple of Nigerian Restaurants, bars and clubs where Nigerian expats converge, eat Nigerian food and listen to Nigerian music. I love Nigerian food and music and so do a lot of other Africans and people from all over the world. So the first thing I did when pla...

Bangkok,Thailand was fun!!Really fun, and big and awesome.I fell in love with the place and I will definitely go back. I was amazed at how diverse the people in Bangkok are,like the last time I saw that many Arabs was definitely in Kenya. Arabs are really really cute I remember wanting to steal some super cute Arab babies...just kidding. The taxis were cheap compared to the taxis here in Phnom Penh..I remember being stuck in traffic for over an hour and still paying just a little over 5 dollars...and at night my friends and I would go a pretty good distance and still pay like just over 2 dollars. I was amazed at how nobody was staring at me..at some point I started feeling neglected actually...mmmmh that is disturbing!But I don't blame them,they have seen it all probably so a random black girl walking down the street...who cares!And I found it so weird that in Bangkok,they don't drive big SUVs...Cambodia is way poorer and more remote than Thailand..like we cant even compare...
