Phnom Penh is the capitol of Cambodia,it is a large sprawling city.There are some areas that are nice and clean,mostly in government areas and where big buisness and very expensive hotels are located. Parts of the riverfront are also attractive. Most of the city is quite dirty.There is alot of trash including refuse from the markets which includ...

Naar vejene i Cambodia er gode, er de virkelig gode. Det var en über smooth tur fra Siem Reap til Phnom Penh saa da vi ankom om eftermiddagen, var vi mere end friske nok til at se lidt af byen. Umiddelbart efter et hurtigt check-in paa et udemaerket, dog grimt, guesthouse, tog vi ned til Cambodias svar paa den franske reviera. En lang, hyggelig ...

I was so exhausted on the bus journey to Phnom Penh, but my seat was broken so I had to sit bolt upright the whole way and had no chance of sleeping. I am travelling with Gunta and when we arrived we were starving and knackered. At first all we could find to eat was "abdomen" and we were scammed by an Aussie guy who told us a tuck-tuck driver ha...

Phnom Penh - the lighter side Besides being the home to S21 and the Killing Fields, Phnom Penh does have a lighter side. After writing down my thoughts, I now want them out of my head for the time being. I need a distraction. James, Lynn, Jens, Nat, Fi and I have reunited at Happy Guest House #11 on the lake. We jam ourselves into Mr. B's tuk-tu...

Basically our few days here were used up by visiting the moving Teul Sleoung Prisoner Camp and the killing fields where the prisoners were later taken. To vent my anger on the issue, I decided to fire 50rnds from an M60.

Siem Reap to Phnom Penh to Chau Doc We were surprised to discover that we had to ride on benches in the back of a pick-up truck at 6 am when we were leaving Siem Reap to catch the fast boat to Phnom Penh! (we had thought David was kidding-silly us) What could we do but just hang on. The boat was very full and we ended up at the back by the noisy...

Travelled south to visit Phnom Penh, which is the capital of Cambodia. Stayed for 3 days to see the city sights as well as the Killing Field and the Genocide Museum. Terryfying

Not much should have happened here, should have just been passing through, but i awoke to find that i couldn't hear out of my left ear. Went to a private hospital, the best in the country, and it turns out i have an inflamed ear canal, nothing serious. Just got some drops and some antibiotics and then left the next day. Did have a posiitive this...

I got to Phnom Penh on the 15th of Feb and on the 16th I went out to the Killing fields and S-21 prison. The rest of my time in Phnom Penh is covered in the next update. The killing fields are about 12kms outside Phnom Penh. I went out on the back of a motor bike and didn't really know what to expect. The first thing was the very small size of t...

Our bus trip to Phnom Penh was a real eye opening experience. We saw second-hand the corruption that exists in the government at the border crossing. The visa costs 20 USD but if you would like the guide to take care of it it would cost 25 USD. Luckily Pawel and I decided that 10 USD was worth avoiding a potential hassle. Unfortunately two girls...
