Phnom Penh












4 & 5 December 2007
Phnom Penh, capital city of Cambodia is a 6-hour ride from Siem Reap. The roads are smooth and ride uneventful. It is a larger version of Siem Reap, just as dusty, crowded and roads choatic. The only difference is that there are more modern buildings.
The countryside along the way is dotted by quaint villages and large ponds.
The Central and Russian markets are busy places where any and every things are sold. Very hard bargaining is needed, at least 1/2 of the opening price. An adidas shirt costs US$4.5 at the only air-con shopping centre wherelse hard bargaining could only bring the price down to US$5 from US$12.
