Phnom Penh -Day 1

After we got out from the Phnom Penh International Airport , we saw big poster written

HAN CIE

SUNDAY GUESTHOUSE

because we had booked a room with Sunday GH(guesthouse) through hostelbookers.com.

He will fetch us to the Huesthouse for US$5 only.

Phnom Penh International Airport

Many tuk-tuk are available here for US$7 .

Our Tuk-Tuk to Sunday Guesthouse.

Feeling like a star being welcomed the moment we step out of the plane. Siok!!

The road in phnom penh is well paved but the car drive at the right side of the road (different from Malaysia). Many Toyotas and Hondas. Road is very dusty.

Excitement begins:

After checking in Sunday Guesthouse, we decided to walk to the nearest tourist spot, Tuol Sheng Museum. (45minutes under the hot sun seems crazy right??). We keep asking the people around for the exact place and use many hand language. Most of them cannot understand English, and with no preparation for khmer language the communication looks funny.

Tuol Sheng Museum is located right in the middle of residential area because it is formally a school and was converted to the prison during Khmer Rouge (1975-79)

Entrance fees : US$ 2

Petrol price 4000Riels = 1US = RM3.52
We are still buying cheap petrol!! :)















Dinner at one of the stalls nearby. Get bottles or water as GH don't supply drinking water here.

Celebrating for having a beautiful starting day of our Camb-Thai journey !! Cheers !

There are lots of Cambodian chinese who are going to celebrate moonlight festival!!

Chinese is everywhere!

Back to guesthouse and rent 2 bikes for $2. We will watch sun rise tomorrow at Wat Phnom on a hill. Watch out for more !!!

After that we watched the movie S21 killing Field which is potrayed in a drama and i read the book "A Cambodian Prison Potrait" by Vann Nath.

My whole night was engulfed by the history which happens right here 30 years ago. When men became merciless, they will do anything unimaginable... LIke beast...
