Album: Day 6 Phnom Penh 金邊

2006 Jun 15:
Woke up at 12:00 and headed off to look for another guesthouse at the riverside.  As recommended by a tuktuk driver, finally lodged at Paragon Hotel with a convenient location with lots of restaurants around.  Walked along the riverside and got in the Royal Palace and spent a couple of hours.  Russian Market came next.  Spent some 15 minutes there only as it closes at 17:00.  Dinner at 123 Chinese Restaurant.  Good food and price.

2006 Jun 16:
First stop post office then took a moto for National Museum.  Things were not as good as Royal Palace.  Then it was a serious Russian Market trip.  Spent some time on walking around.  Went back to hotel for a break and dinner at LanZhou Noodle shops at the New York Hotel.  Good price.  Then headed to FCC for a beer.  Had a drink at Phnom Penh Cafe with free internet at last.

Album: Day 8 Phnom Penh 金邊

2006 Jun 17:
Purchased the Mekong Express Bus tickets to Sihanoukville early at 09:30.  At 10:00 took a tuktuk to S-21 Museum (Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum) and spent a cruel 2 hours there.  It was worth the time and worth to pay for a guide for introduction.  Lunch at a guesthouse right across the museum and headed off to the Killing Field at 13:30.  Be warned, lots of real skulls there.  Russian markets at last and then dinner.  After dinner, it was a disco, a bowling alley, then Naga Casino and then the Children Playground (like back to '70s).  Finished off the day at Phnon Penh Cafe again.
