Reiziger Homesick! If you go to Kandal village again. Go to the jeweler- Garden of Desire. Tell them you know Ann from Australia. Pisith is the owner but I think he is in Singapore until October. Have a great time!
Reiziger Wow Ann! Well spotted as to our location! Is Kandal village Hop Guan street? If so, that's only a few streets away from our hotel on Street 22 so we can certainly pop in to say hi.
Reiziger That’s the one! Beautiful jewelry. If you are hunting a good coffee there is a bakery beside Garden of Desire or The Little Red Fox is there too. The chat who owns it has a grandfather who lives in Toowoomba! Small world.
