Phnom Penh - a lively city
After a hot and surprisingly quiet night we ate delicious noodle soup for breakfast (as usual here, we want to bring us so), the coffee, you can forget, lemon and orange juice to it.
The warm drinks, did the rest to us that the weld beads are runtergeronnen in streams. But with time you get used to it.
then through the capital market with a nice tuk-tuk drivers, who are first to the Tuol Seng Museum, were detained when the Khmer Rouge era (1975-1979) 20,000 people. Most died there at the inhuman treatment of a communist leadership, either by torture or the murder on the Killing Fields, where we were going later. The walking around the mass graves was very Entrische. - Simply amazing and very reminiscent of the Holocaust.
then brought us the faithful tuk-tuk drivers, we rewarded in between with a cola, the royal palace. There, we said goodbye to him and gave him the agreed $ 15 (for the whole tour).
Many magnificent buildings, particularly in the Throne Room and the Silver Pagoda (Buddha's life-size from 90 kg of gold and diamonds). Meanwhile, the first short, heavy downpour.
one km back we went on foot to see and enjoy all the possibility of life on the roads very close: very poor people (really poor), hundreds of small family shops, craftsmen repair (which all mechanical and electrically), Mini-Essensstaende (a woman cooked to our liking, not too sharp - very tasty), Eisblockverkauefer, Fruchtsaftverkaeufer (Since we got our sugar cane juice with lemon in plastic bags and straw). In the markets there were still other things totally tasty: fried snakes, tarantulas, grasshoppers, frogs and beetles - unfortunately we had already eaten .....
We are on our walks through the narrow streets are under surveillance by the locals and especially at the local Central Market, we fall on a bit. Everyone is very nice, just making eye contact with tuk-tuk and Modeptaxifahrern need to prevent at all costs. Nevertheless, they are not really intrusive, a No is already accepted, either after 4 Time or when it is very polite, and says. - New record on a moped: 5 People.
Now assume we will buy something good to eat, drink a beer and tomorrow the bus to Siem Reap.
