Saturday Market Shopping

Dad and I needed to get some food today.  There is a market just a couple of blocks away from us.  This is where the western foods are.  Some call it the International Market.  You see the foreigners there.  We just walk down.  It is so nice not to have to drive.  We passed this cute little girl and her mom on the way.

Here is the cereal row.  Amazing !!!  Dad took the picture from outside.  I was a little uneasy about it.  It seemed like he was a spy or something.  So any way, in the store when they saw him take pictures, they told him 'no pictures.'

Look at this chip isle.  Like most things in the store, it just depends on the day you are there what items they have.  These small bags of chips are like $3.50  and they have a lot of air in them.











They are big with the Smuckers jam. 
 Blueberry is usually there.

Produce in this market here is made to look western.  Wrapped on trays with plastic.  So you pay more here, and I think they just buy it from the street vendors.  But I am buying it.  You can see the meat row second to the bottom.  They usually have minced chicken , minced pork, minced beef, (we have never bought the beef, we have been told to avoid it).  Also chicken breasts.  I think there was a couple of beef steaks there today.

Looks good, doesn't it?

This is some kind of meat in the freezer part.  Dad took these pictures, and I didn't look at the freezer meat, so I don't know what this is.

More freezer stuff.  Notice the corn and peas on the left.  They are like $8-10.  But they have it.  Some things are in Khmer so you don't really know what it is.

So walking home with the groceries. I know..., I have on my homely shoes I bought for the mission.  But really they are the best for walking around these streets.












 Two sacks...$50  Dad says I need to make it last at least two meals...no two weeks.

The white high-rise is the new apartment next to ours.  Same owner.  He took us up to the top to see the penthouse suite the other day.  It was amazing.  He was excited to rent it out for $6000 a month.  The CEO of a cell phone company signed a two year lease.  Dad told him he could have gotten much more.  Really it was amazing.  Windows from floor to ceiling and like a 360 view.  You can see our apartment building just to the left of it.

Here is a better view of our apartment building. You can also see the new to the right. 
















Here is a restaurant right next to us.  We have eaten there a couple of times.  












And here I am going into our parking.  There is an elevator in side.  We do try to walk up 6 stories each day.   (we are on the 6th floor) When we exercise in the morning on the 12th floor, we use the stairs.  Also when we walk we use the stairs.
