Friendship Takes on Artistic Meaning

What could bring lawyer and scientist together? Appreciation of art and art as an investment. We have been colleagues for over a decade in Singapore. He decided to follow his passion into art, and I decided to learn "art" from my "scientific" thinking.

I have not tried video, as it takes time to edit for something that is worth sharing. Google has purchased YouTube for a few billion dollars, and this means you can integrate video as well.

Seam Reap

The bus journey took 5.5 hours from Phnom Penh. The bus was filled to the brim. The condition is slightly worse than the factory bus in Singapore. Thankfully the road though small is straight! Padi fields all around with ponds filled with lotus flowers. Many houses were built on stilt and still using dry attap leaves. Published with Blogger-droid v1.6.5
