Easter at around we tried to organize access to some interesting new destinations in Asia. At the same time the idea arose to visit a world traveler visiting our friend M's house. He is the last one and a half years living and working in an ž Cambodia capital of Phnom Penh. Small, we decided to draw a combination of Phnom Penh to Hong Kong.

Arrival in Phnom Penh, I felt somewhat similar to Thailand a bit more remote the main tourist spots, ie, a slightly run-down feel to it. The crowd was like the hats and the heat was enough. Western appearance was remarkably little to see. After a long exhausting flight trippers made it much easier that we were greeted by our host and the ride's flat was arranged so easily. We were able to directly cool off and explore the scenery of the apartment balcony Angkor beer for sipping before the evening feeding costs. Landscapes were In excellent.
A visit to was very short, it was the arrival of Saturday afternoon's already out of the side and was leaving have great in the early evening on Tuesday. Time haahuiluun not, therefore, was not. That's why it was good that we were already in the Lonely Planet guide book to have looked upon a number of interesting have great things for you. M could well say what was possible and what is not, on the schedule. First of all, it must be said that the country's history, I do not any older prior information was before the Lonely Planet have great pikakertauksen a read. It was found, that the Millennium on both sides of the region affected by Empire Angkor, Cambodia a descendant of the current ž a is. The empire of the major achievements was to a considerable smart irrigation system development, and the power of fathers erection of temples.

Everything crazy that people can do to each other. At present, Phnom Penh is a very interesting city. In part it is a badly run-down, the houses have time to be idle for many years to chase away all the inhabitants of the Khmer Rouge forced labor in rural areas, and people can not afford to fix them.
