Phnom Penh's Central Market
We are enjoying wandering the streets of this city. Today we visited Psar Thmei, this yellow Art Deco market. You can't really get a sense of the size from this photo but it is quite large and is said to have one the largest domes in the world. From the center, there are four wings radiating in each direction. The afternoon light through the windows was lovely.
Just as fascinating was our visit to the modern shopping center down the street for Pnomh Penh's wealthy. This tall silver multi-level mall looks like a western version from the outside, but once inside you see it is set up like other markets here with each floor split among rows of stalls selling almost identical items.
We'll share these English language gems from the mall's grocery store:
On a candy package: After taste without end. Unable dispute. Hot sell the good taste
On package of apple candy called Good: Melting in your mouth with endless aftertaste. Aroma and dainty without end. Full-bodied, milky and romantic sweet.
On package of Chinese Soup: Flavor: Drive Out Irrascibility Soup
