Phnom Penh 13th and 14th of December
04:12
After a short flight from Singapore we arrive in the Cambodian capital. We did not plan to stay long there as we are mostly interested by Angkor Wat of course. But now we start to feel that we are in South-East Asia... As we pass the border and pay for the visa the guard do not want to give my change back, stating that, the money I gave him was the full price of the visa. But what he forget is that a big sign with the prices was on the wall just behind him, so I showed him and...
he gave me back the change...!
As we arrived at the hotel we were incredibly surprised as it was nice and the people very helpful and kind ( yes surprised as we red some reviews from French people stating that the place was a rat hole, as the Brit say's "don't trust the French")
It's an interesting city with palaces and temples to visit, as well as the atrocities perpetrated by the Khmer rouges. We were moved while visiting Robeen Island, but there we were shaken, even shattered I will say.
Location:Phetsarat Rd,Luang Prabang,Laos
