The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda

Everyday I'm in Cambodia I have to pinch myself. From the first moment I arrived I couldn't quite believe that I was "in Cambodia". Cambodia was in the news and awful lot when I was a child and stories of the atrocitites have obviously lodge deaplyinto my subconscious. My first impression was that this place wasn't as scarey as I thought it would be. I arrived at the airport and got some dollars from the machine and change 20 of them into local currency (at a diabolical rate I might add). The...

The Lap of Luxury

After sweltering in Vientiane, I decided to crash into Phnom Penh and live the good life. After the flight, I picked up a taxi to the city center and then convinced him to drive me a little further to a place called the Renakse Hotel. Incredible building, a nice room, AIR CONDITIONING, free breakfast, etc etc etc for $35/night. Really far too much, but it was quiet and right across the way from one of the central attractions in town, the Grand Palace. My first foray out, I decided to take a w...

Phnom Pah!

... br>Spent a day at the Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng. Truly harrowing experience. The Killing Fields are an hour out of town and there is a huge monument filled with hundreds of skulls from some of the mass graves they have excavated. Theres still thousands buried there. Tuol Sleng was equally upsetting. Its in the middle of the town with all the houses and shops round it and was once the ...

Phnom Penh; Home of Wats, Monks and Khmer History

... br>
The entrance fee to the museum was $3 pp. An extra $1 is required if you wanted to take photos of the central garden, an offer too good to refuse. Photography of the exhibits was prohibited. The pieces in the museum were dated from the 4th Century through to the 14th Century, one thousand years of history. It spanned periods such as the Chenla, Indravarman and Angkor. The influences from India were definitely visible, as all of these ...

The Merchant Of Phnom Penh

... the 'No U-Turns' signs, you wouldn't get anywhere if you didn't, if you missed your turning you would just cycle out of Phnom Penh, out of Cambodia, through Laos, China, Russia, and then just plough into the Ocean having got nothing done on your 'List of things to do today'. Except for the last item on the list, 'Plough into sea on bike'. Down on Sisowath Quay, or Riverside as its known to most, in a place called 'Beaugangles', which is nice enough, it has many examples of these ...

Phnom Penh

... in mass graves. There wasn't much left of the place, but a fairly garish memorial was there filled with peoples skulls and bones. We wandered about the site and saw all the holes where bones had been exhumed. The worst bit was walking along the trails and realising that the white bits sticking up weren't rocks or wood, but human bones. The whole day had been a real eye opener, especially since I really didn't know much about ...

... every direction. There are also really great bakeries and restaurants spread throughout the city. My boyfriend and I were here about 3 years ago. On our first night in Phnom Penh we ran into this Australian guy who told us that all of his stuff had been stolen and that he just needed a couple of dollars to get something to eat and maybe help to get a place to stay. We thought it was really weird and I don't think that we gave him any money at the time. Well 3 years later he is ...

The Horror, The Horror

... and cause you to reek of old socks no matter how much of that roll on deodorant you apply. We pull into Lakeside, not its official name, that is the rather Pol Pot-esque 'Street 93', as all of the roads in the city have numbers instead of names. That's what it will like in the future for humans hopefully. Fingers crossed, but in a way that suggests I have no emotions. As they will be banned also. The streets get more narrow, and walls slowly fill up with graffiti, I realise I am ...

Killing Fields and Genocide Museum

... as many of the skulls of prisoners that died during the torture process. It was a very grim sight and hard to see. Our bus was silent after our tour around the prison because it just leaves you speechless at all the horrors and pain that people had to go through there. Our tour guide didn't go into the building because it is very hard for him to be there since his mother, father, and brothers were killed by the Khmeruse soldiers. He was 10 to 14 years old ...

River cruise and meeting Rasanak in Phnom Pehn

Today I got to sleep in a little while before heading to meet up with my group of 60 other S@Sers to go to Cambodia. We were the third and final group to leave for a three day trip to Cambodia from semester at sea. We took two tour buses to the airport to catch our flight to Phnom Penh. Audrey and Whitney, two of my friend I made at Kruger, are also on the trip. They are good friends with Anna Brittain who goes to Clemson so the four ...
