Phnom Penh Phun

Hello from Phnom Penh.

It's a lovely city situated at the crossing of the Mekong, Tonle Sap and Bassac Rivers. The city was laid out by the French during their occupation, it's got wide boulavards with traffic circles and the streets are laid out in a grid. To make life even easier, all the streets are numbered with even ones going east-west and odd ones going north-south. The city's got some amazing (and cheap) restaurants along its river front. I've def. been eating well since arriving here.

We took an overnight trip to Sihanoukville - a beach town 4 hours south of here on the Gulf of Thailand. Beautiful stretch of beach lined with restaurants and girls selling delicious lobsters/crabs/springrolls/bbq squid.

So far, I've taken about 300 photos. It'll be quite a task to sort through the pics and pick out the best ones for posting! I'll get the photos up once I get back to Aceh!

I fly to Jakarta via Singapore tomorrow. Will spend 2 day in JKT for meetings before finally landing back in Aceh on Tuesday morning.
