Phnom Pehn was much more westernized than we would have thought. Right in front of our hotel there was a huge boardwalk along the Tonle Sap river. This was an area of activity where we saw a photo exhibit, many people exercising (dancing, badminton, soccer, aerobics etc...) day and night (we heard them...) and we even saw an elephant walking down the street. While there we toured different parts of the city and also around the city (orphanage next blog) and we chartered a boat to go up the Mekong river.

The following pictures MIGHT BE DISTURBING to some, but it was part of my visit (Louis) to Cambodia. I'm sorry if some find these difficult but in speaking to some locals the past is not such a distant memory and this was part of it. The pictures will speak for themselves.
