Cambodia, Phnom Penh (2011, Mar 16-18)



And the journey continued… Pack my bag, let's roll!!!
My next destination was Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Once known as the Pearl of Asia, the largest city in the kingdom can be reached either by air, by boat or by road from Siem Reap. However bus travel is now becoming more and more popular means of overland transport between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh since traveling overland gives you a chance to discover the traditional lifestyles and culinary delights of the local people… so bus travel it is!!!

For my trip in Phnom Penh, I decide to discover the joy of travel on a walking tour. http://www.canbypublications.com/maps/phnom-penh-city-center.htm assists me navigate the streets, sidewalks and walking paths that comprise Downtown.

There are a number of second-hand bookshops around Phnom Penh.

They sell pirated Lonely Planet books. Basically it's an exact version of the latest Lonely Planet editions photocopied. You can get a Lonely Planet: Korea for USD7.
