Pursat

Pursat was an important hub when Cambodia's railway was working at it's best in the 1920's and 1930's.



Creepy rabbits are sometimes depicted in the countryside. What I see as creepy, they may see as playful.

Freehand, backside of building wall art. Not bad. Better than traditional graffiti - in my view.













While roaming around residential Pursat, we found this home to be among the architecturally more interesting. We asked the owners if we may photograph their home. They obliged and afterwards invited us for tea.
After the overthrow of Khmer Rouge, it was established the original homeowners were killed and these people arranged title with the wobbly powers at the time.

The government took a little island, covered the perimeter with cement to look like a ship and put in a big event space. Interesting.
