At the Pon Lok restaurant, where Chuck & I had a table on the balcony overlooking the Mekong River. we went for a very late lunch and the place was empty by then. so we had 12 young and very happy bunch of kids serving the 2 of us!
|
|
this was a super happy bunch! they were quite amusing too. and the food was so incredibly tasty (we can't ever forget their beef lok lak). that was my first time eating traditional cambodian food

|
|
prisoner cells inside Tuol Sleng -a school turned into a prison, torture & extermination center by the Khmer Rouge. more than 17,000 people were imprisoned & murdered here. it was known as the place where people went in but never came out
|
|
this is how narrow each cell was. an adult couldn't even stretch their arms horizontally

|
another plaza. the city is european looking with its huge wide tree-lined boulevards and plazas, and it looks frozen in time.

hanging out on the balcony of the bar at the Foreign Correspondents Club, by the mekong river at night
|
|
|
|
boats on the mekong. there are usually restaurants, bars, clubs inside (and other things seemed to be going on too in some of these)
|
|
hanging out by the mekong at night
|
|
very happy looking kids
|
|
the central market, sprawling huge. the stalls sell a remarkable array of things - flowers, vegetables, meat, fish, clothing, watches, knickknacks and who knows what else. we couldn't make it around the whole place, it was too big and crazy
