262, Monivong blvd, Khan Daun Penh Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 855-23-213999
Have run down the Dong to almost nothing. The hotel finally fixed the Internet so I scrambled to do mail in the 10 minutes before the bus went. Finally got onto the bus and wended our way out of the city onto the road that doubles as a highway. Got to the border about two hours later and said goodbye to Triet. We carried our bags inside, although some paid to have these carried. Through the departures line, then to Cambodia booth where we were approved. We then walked across no man's land to ...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia gregd999Our full-day tour of Phnom Penh. Started off by going to the killing fields 15 km out. About 2 million people were killed by Pol Pot, and this was the largest known grave site. Saw the pits and monument, and was given a tour. Drove back to town to S 21, which was the detention and torture facility that sent people to the killing fields. It used to be our guide's high school. Most of the group watched the video but the room was too stifling for me so I walked around. Was given a guided tour of...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia gregd999Checked out of the Boulevard and headed back to the airport via Central Station. Bumped in to my friend Ronnie at the airport which freaked me out. Could not get any Cambodian currency at the airport but Ronnie lent me some US$ to get me by. The flights for today were all messes up because when I first booked I was going to meet the tour group in Siem Reap and head down to Phnom Penh. This tour was then cancelled and the airline would not just let me off in Phnom Penh without re-booking the w...

<br>Walking<br>around Phnom Penh is such a change from Vietnam. Number one, it<br>isn't as crazy – it is definitely less populated. To us, there is<br>also a melancholy feeling throughout the town – although people<br>were moving about it wasn't the boisterous energy that we saw in<br>Vietnam – instead we felt a certain sadness. Maybe it is because<br>of the sights we visited today. This morning we went to the Tuol<br>Sleng Museum – a building in its third ...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia carlaandmike... Phillipines & Nath & I to get ready to go to Vietnam on Saturday morning. On the way home from the airport Nath & I went to Central Market as he wanted to do some more shopping & then we had dinner at Baan Thai again on the way home.<br>Felt very quiet going back to the house that night after everyone had left & we missed the noise & fun !!!!<br> <br>
Phnom Penh, Cambodia hilaryramsey... 05). Great. So we walk about and see the Independence Moument and the Liberation monument and spend the day dodging traffic. After a while we stop off in the Phnom Penh Foreign Correspondents Club (FCC), which considering the recent history here is rather famous. After a few pricy (here) shakes we finally end up at the Grand Palace, and I have to say even though its impressive it's not quite as big or lavish at the one at Bangkok. Going out for a few drinks later ...

Phnom Penh, Cambodia awfullook... skilled. They risk burns & cuts which as you can imagine are quickly infected. At a bar we met a man called Richard. He is part of a non profit charity which arranges for groups of people to donate money which is then used to buy food, medicine, shoes, etc. You then take a truck to the dump & distribute these items. Every penny goes to the children & workers on the heap. <br>We did this, and it is two things -<br>Firstly it is a rewarding ...
Phnom Penh, Cambodia newmansinasia... have booked a hotel, the confirmation hasnt come through yet so fingers crossed. Last chance - we tried to get a flight to PHU QUOC but all fully boooked so we looked through the LP and RG and planned the alternative route, we think we can get a bus from HCMC to Rach Gia late in the evening and travel overnight getting the early morning ferry from RACH GIA to PHU QUOC. That means we dont need the hotel room so how shady do we feel :(<br><br>
Phnom Penh, Cambodia gdvc... locally as Choeung Ek) is quite small and can easily be seen in an hour. For those of you less familiar with the history: <br><br>Before 1975, The Choeung Ek killing field was an orchard and Chinese cemetery. After overthrowing the Khmer Republic Regime in 1975, the Ultra Communist Khmer Rouge Regime (UCKRR) converted Choeung Ek into a killing center. It was part of the larger Security Prison called S-21. It is estimated that ...
