Do Men Think Women Camel Toe

Kep-sur-mer

Hi everyone!

Now that we left that we realize that we've never yet made the city where we dragged our thongs ... Shame on us! Go Today we catch up!

Kep is a resort that was founded in 1908 and that had its heyday under the name of Kep-sur-Mer, French colonial times when wealthy families from Phnom Penh came there on holiday breathe good air and make Vin Pepper Crab Kampot, the specialty of the area.

You can imagine that this symbol of the Dolce Vita was hardly taste Cambodian Khmer Rouge who have been happy to sack the city as they could.

Today, there are still beautiful in Kep traces of its past prosperity, which give a charm: The roads are lined with gates that open onto nothing when nature has reclaimed the top or very little when the foundations of houses are visible.
we discover every day as we walked carcasses beautiful villas from the colonial era. Some are squat, some are empty and then it is a true happiness than exploring them because their architecture is often worthy of a film by Jacques Tati!
Among these remains, the recent buildings vying in splendor and sometimes tasteless, often.

With the development of tourism in Cambodia, the resort is currently enjoying a boom.
must say that the hills surrounded by National Park (a beautiful primary forest) and a promenade along the sea tiles, Kep has everything to please.
weekend, the wealthy capital of the land again to fill the belly, watching the sea, and they are right, if you're in the neighborhood, it is imperative that you taste. The famous Crab the famous pepper, they are pure delight!

Walk stormed during the Chinese New Year.

The statues which adorned the city are not sad either: several kinds of multi Shivas laden with symbols, a stag and doe in gold seem to sniff the back, two kinds of chicken giant Golden also framing the governor's palace, a white horse (the benchmark Happy delicious bakery where we bought our little pepper cookies), a giant crab symbol of the city and a pretty young woman who looks after the sea On rumors, it could be that of Marguerite Duras expect her lover ... Exposed
originally it was from wearing a lightweight white fabric that discovers her buttocks in a haphazard way (and there's often windy at Kep) ...

Although relatively sparsely populated (4000 souls according to the Lonely Planet) The city covers eight good miles.

Two faces are then available to visitors curious aspect of both tourists and the relaxed beach side and the market for crab. It is in this area that are beautiful hotels chicos like where we are offered a breakfast for Naomi's birthday with a pool, croissants and all that stuff, and seafood restaurants, bars with private beaches where one can sip cocktails and dancing in the moonlight ...

The market crabs.

few miles away, on the side of the market, the old Casino and the discharge is no longer the same city! No longer do tuk-tuk travels the area to offer an excursion on the island of Rabbit ... Many people live in shacks of sheet metal and are staff (we're surrounded by cops!) Or small merchants. The poorest of them, including children survive on garbage collection.

cows, pigs and chickens roam freely about it besides you really have to be careful with the mob in calves, nothing more true than the phrase "con as a calf!

The market entry of Kep

The least we can say is that the tourism industry does not benefit everyone. Between those who are in penury to the neck and those who prosper or come to relax, the contrast is really huge, shocking! If

Kep and its people have marveled, we also experienced anxiety and pain by thinking the future of this city ...
The construction noise is omnipresent. In two months we have seen guesthouses to be built, but also many old eucalyptus and mango trees to be uprooted for reasons still obscure.
The French school, so pretty is currently threatened by a proposed road that would cut in half (but when).
We recently watched helplessly on the demolition of the hut of a family whose children attend the recreation center while right next to a large villa is being built ...

much for Kep.
is the first time that we in urban inveterate passions much time in such a small corn. But what you want, we felt it was good and we shot it is attached: The dirt roads leading to the sea, the noise of the boat, our presence at the school, market, beach, the surroundings and especially, especially, the kepois and kepoises course!

If someday you feel the urge to pass it out, we strongly recommend you to stay in Rega. Firstly because it is a very nice guesthouse, it is not located in the tourist district, and finally because the managers are Florian and Aurélie absolutely adorable and very friendly.

soon!
