I don't know why I didn't end up posting my trip to Phnom Penh! But as I reminisce and going through some old pictures, I arrived to this archive. It is a bittersweet post I must say, as one of my friend that went with us here (we were 4 of us) has passed-away a couple years back.
I dedicated this post to him. My #1000 post on the blog!!!
May you rest in peace with heavenly angels Tyo. You are one of no other alike.
It was the same month when we all visited Cambodia for the first time, it was March too...
We were on our Nyepi Holiday, and today happened to be a Nyepi day...
Happy Nyepi day (Seclusion day) Bali, I love you my home!
Phnom Penh formerly known
as Chaktomuk (Khmer: "Four
Faces"), is the capital of Cambodia. Located on the banks of
the Tonlé Sap and Mekong River, Phnom Penh has been the national
capital since French colonization of Cambodia, and has grown to become the
nation's center of economic and industrial activities, as well as the center of
security, politics, cultural heritage, and diplomacy of Cambodia.
Once known as the "Pearl of Asia," it was
considered one of the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina in
the 1920s. Founded in 1434, the city is noted for its beautiful and historical
architecture and attractions. There are a number of surviving French
colonial buildings scattered along the grand boulevards.
thank you all for stopping by and viewing the post...
