"PhNom PeNh" Cambodia by jubistuta79

I was visiting to Phnom Penh only for 3 days, because we have another visit to Seam Reap. We went to Killing Field, S21 Prison, Royal Palace, National Museum, Independent Monument, Cambodia-Vietnamese Monument, Russian Market, Central Market ... and staying at nice and cheap Hotel, Cozyna for a small room (no windows) just for USD 15. But dude, we don't have a window for our room. If you wish to have a window, you have to pay more. BUt as backpackers, you stay in your room at night for sleep. So why we need a window???

Here, I visited S21 or the prison. Its very famous ... and this is MUST place to visit ... so cruel and horrible but it's can give a great experience to myself. I like this place but we have to wait for the tour guide for 1hours. Use a guide to get a true and great experienced! You only pay USD 1 to any guide...

Other place likes National Museum .. are not MUST visit place because we are very disappointed with this museum...normally the name of 'national' will show everything about the country, but this museum only have a Buddha ... so sad! We expected to see their history of independent, the pics of their king, civil war etc ... but we can call this Buddha Museum. Russian market and central market are very nice place for shopping.. you can buy 4 t-shirt with USD5!Other places like Royal Palace, should be visited coz they also have a nice buildings and landscape. If you arrived in this palace, you could see a big differents between the palace and area outside of this building.

• Pros:Very nice country
• Cons:Hot weather (39 deg), the driver like to cheat visitor, bad service from local ppl to Asian ppl, dirty and dust conutry
