16 Juliana 152 Rd., Sangkat Vealvong Khan 7 Makara Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 12000, 855-23-880530
Due to lack of Internet complications in the last couple of days as we switched over to a new hotel, the Juliana in PP, I am making this update two days past the last entry. I have also recovered from jet lag, although we have been going to sleep around 8 pm the last couple of nights or so. On Saturday, we visited another orphanage, not open to Int. adoptions, but many families from around the world support and send donations to the children living there. The place was overall better in compa...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia beth_annWe have spent three days in Phnom Penh. Not the nicest of cities, dirty, polluted and difficult to walk down the street without very desperate locals trying to sell you something. It's not a comfortable place, it feels desperate, poor and aesthetically horrible. A highlight however was our lovely driver Bun Phat who took us around to the war museum and the markets and out for dinner, the going rate for him and his air conditioned car was US$35 for the day. We had a selection of drivers that w...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia capravrAfter settling in to our new hotel room (a lovely ground floor room not more than 10 steps from the pool) we decided we would hire Mr Kong to take us to the temples so we went and found him and agreed on a price for the afternoon, $8US. That afternoon we explored Angkor Wat thouroughly. It was fairly quiet as it was around lunchtime. They are working on the main central part of the temple so we couldn't climb up into there but we were able to go everywhere else and spent several hours explori...
Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, Cambodia dakgrrlPhnom Penh is not the prettiest of towns and did not really do much to endear itself to either of us. We are not sorry that we visited but we won't be rushing back either. It is quite dirty and obviously a quite a poor city. It is chaotic but also quite vibrant but a little bit seedy in parts, especially after dark. In our talk with other travellers it seems that Phnom Penh is much nicer now than it was a few years ago so maybe in a few more years it will be better. On our first morning in Ph...

... student at the RTTC that will be living here for a year but her coldness towards me has not waned and even my cheerful hellos won't break her scowl. <br> The same day she arrived six teenage boys showed up in the wooden shack that almost leans against the small cement room that I sleep in. I asked Maan about the boys and she said that they are studying at the high school across from the house and will be living here for a year as well. I must be honest, it ...
Prey Veng, Cambodia ckulenguski... and wanted us to buy some. This is a common thing around Cambodia. Kids of all ages come by with books and they try to sell you them, They don't take no for an answer so it gets to be quite a hassle! Lonely Planet stated not to buy from them because they don't get to keep the money anyways. So we both said no and continued eating. The child came back 30 minutes later and brought his little ...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia tlow82... from there to Kratie, as the job advert said would be mandatory, would involve “discussions” with her Military Police husband. Mao informed us that this actually meant that moving would not be happening. Why did she apply? She has wasted our time.</li><li style="">I wanted to spit on her as she left.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia awfullook... I got to eat some great food...pulled pork sandwhich, corn on the cob, and a donut. There was a hot dog eating contest, but only 5 minutes long and the winner only ate 5 hot dogs (he was a US Marine). Lots of music, some dancing, some acrobats, but no fireworks. The Ambassador did get in the dunk tank which was pretty funny. <br><br>I can't believe it's time to leave this country. But, again, its always nice to leave knowing you have something to look forward to. Laos, here I come!<br>
Phnom Penh, Cambodia courtenayokay, so Cambodia...firstly I'd like to say we ****ing loved this country. The people, both locals & westerners are almost always good people & the country has a lot to do or see. You can keep Thailand I would come here. <br><br>On 25 th of May we arrived in PP (Phnom Penh) after along bus journey from Laos. We headed for the lakeside, famous for the massive backpacker seen, & got a room for $1.50 a night each at the Same Same But Different guest ...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia newmansinasia... bumpy. The hotel is great. We were told there wouldn't be internet, but there was free internet in the foyer! Cashed some travellers cheques close by. About 5pm we were taken for an orientation trip in the bus around Phnom Penh, and then to a local restaurant where all meals were a dollar. Saw the local fairground on the waterfront. When we got back, we went and bought a tub of ice cream at the nearby supermarket, and pigged out for supper.
