Phun in Phnom Penh

While Shianoukville was a nice cozy town with a decent nightlife, Phnom Penh is on a whole other level. It's by far the biggest city in Cambodia, and it shows. There's alot of stuff to do and see during the day, and at night you have an abundant choice of places to go to. Even though it's not at all enjoyable, you should nonetheless still go to the Killing Fields and S-21 prison, it is something one has to visit to understand Cambodia and its history. You can visit several markets and museums (there's a national museum and a mine-museum) and the Royal Palace.

Beauty salons are spread thoughout Phnom Penh central market. Seems surreal to me: Go to the market to get a pedicure!

We stayed on the lakeside where most of the guesthouses are in a really nice place called Grand View, there's a place called Carambodja nearby run by a Swiss couple, and I've had the most amazing meal there in a long time: Beef filet steaks with whiskeysauce and Spätzle - yes, they DID find proper beef somehow!
David left us to go back to Austria, so Reto and me travelled on to Shianoukville.
