Phnom Phen is a city with a moving history - literally. During Pol Pots regime people were moved from the city to the land.
That's why this city, which 2 million Cambodians call their home, had only 20'000 inhabitants at the end of the 70s. the red Khmer tried to change the system directly to Communism instead of taking the long way over Socialism. Pol Pots regime cost about 2 million lives in only 3 years. Killing fields are scattered all over Cambodia. One of these
fields we visited - once again with the
bicycles. The traffic to get out of the city was as d
angerous as entertaining. Only a few basic rules apply and make it a cool experience. We visited 2 museums, which were
OK. The riverfront of
Phnom Phen is pretty chilled out and a nice place to watch Cambodians doing their daily thing.
