Thansur Bokor resort on the Bokor mountain, some 150km southwest of Phnom Penh. The resort is one of the highest flat-top mountain in Cambodia which is elevated 1048 meters (3438 feet) from sea level. The mountain is well-known due to its cool weather and always covered by mist.

Thank you, t2. With the name, it is not hard to find its information. However, photos I found on the web are different from the one here. This one has an external shape like a penis! The tube shape flower contains some liquid in it, and a friend of mine drank that liquid. WTH! After reading some info of the pitcher plant, I found that the plant uses that pitch-like container to lure insect into it and eventually drowns the insect with that liquid and consumes it. What would my friend thinks if he learns this?

The resort is really a nice place to go due to its cool weather and the clean environment. While the rest of Cambodia are burning, this place is just like an air conditioned area. The place is so nice that they gave it a name Thansur which mean paradise. However, the business there is not good. It is over crowed on holidays but as quiet as night on normal days. The reasons might be inconvenient traffic. Almost only people with their own cars can come here. Further, the expenses here are just too high that the majority of salaried people cannot afford it. Once a while, the resort has promotion which drop the prices to a half or more. We also came here with promotion tickets.

I saw this on Taiwan military site the other day, cwchang2100 posted some pics of a of cute girl in military uniform holding a short sword. Apparently she is a Nanjing Institute of Politics graduate student. All the graduate students from this institute gets this short sword/sabre and also a miliatry identity card.

Maybe it's some kind of miliatry school like West point? And the mature lady is from the PLA Art Troupe branch during the parade. Equation needs to work harder! :D

1. That looks to be like a bayonet
2. Those are dog tags or I.D. tags necklace.
3. She looks more to be an ROTC type of student instead of an active PLA soldier.
