Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia was quite a cool city, elaborate palace and such a history here is a snippet …In the rule of the Khmer Rouge (a horrible regime) within the first three days all of the cities were completely emptied to fill the lands with workers and was not inhabited for another 3 or so years. It was amazing what Batttambang and even more Phnom Penh had already become.
Mainly we just wandered around town soaking it all up, one day venturing out to one of the killing fields.
A random massive Elephant walking down one of the cities man roads.

So a little note about the Cambodians, they will eat anything and everything. In this picture you can see: Snakes, whole birds, crickets, grubs, weird eggs, duck embryos and what ever else.

Remnants of the killing fields where thousands upon thousands were brutally killed.


Beautiful, yet they are currently in the process of filling in another lake for prime real estate. Cambodia is one corrupt country.
