On our second day in Phnomh Penh we did some serious sight-seeing. In the morning we visited the Central Market and several temples
 Our hotel in Phnom Penh |
 Psar Thmei, the Central Market, built in 1937 in art-deco style |
 The interior of the Central Market |
There is a big contrast between poor and rich. Too big, it often made me feel uncomfortable.
 Rich people can build nice houses, but have a look at the protective fences! |
 Formerly a French colony, but the English language has taken over. |
 Wat Ounalom |
The temple complexes are an oasis in a town which for the rest is quite dusty and dirty
 Nice architecture |
 |
 Temple interior |
We took our lunch at the bank of the Tonle Sap. Just some sandwiches. We were surrounded by people who just live here and felt a bit like intruders
 Fisherman families. Do they live on these boats? |
 Many people live here on the bank of the river! |
 I always wonder if monks also follow fashion... |
The afternoon we spent in the huge complex of Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda.
 A perfect location for wedding pictures! |

Late in the afternoon we went back to the hotel and, after some rest, went out again for dinner. Not easy to find nice spicy food!

 We took a tuktuk back to the hotel |
 Chinese food is definitely better than Cambodian food! |
 On our way back we saw this advertisement for a dentist |
 This time we were not afraid to try the delicious fruit juice |
 An Internet Cafe proves that Phnomh Penh is part of the global village |
