Street market in operation

I hadn't planned to go out until time to go to World Vision for our Palm Sunday liturgy, but I had to go to the deaf office to photocopy some papers for the mass because all the copy shops were closed.  I was looking for an open shop when I went past Boeung Keng Kong Market.  The market itself was closed but all these people had set up out in the street for whatever business they could get today--and there was a lot.
A second-floor shrine

This building is being torn down or renovated but the construction workers felt it was necessary to put a shrine to the spirits up on the second floor, to keep the spirits happy during the new year.
A nearly deserted street

This almost deserted street is usually very busy and has several copy shops, but today they were all closed.
