Phnom Phen - 5 Aug 2011 - 8 Aug 2011We love Phnom Phen - the chilled breakfasts at 'Living Room', the best iced coffee in Cambodia at the Russian Market, all the silk stuff and other clothes shops (they have great recycled fashion items) and of course the great company of our friend Vanessa! It's been the secnd time we went to see her and I'd come back again...I think I can easily say PP is my favourite weekend get away.
This time we went back to all our favourite places for some more shopping and chilling. We also ventured into new territory with a great local dinner spot V and her crew had discovered and one evening at the famous 'fish amok' restaurant we also decided to try out the local stomach turning delicatesse tarantula (yes, the spider and no, we don't think we'll have it again) :) Further evening entertainment was provided via the band 'Cambodian Space Project' (listen to 'House of the Rising Sun' sung in Khmer below). The screen behind the band showed films of Cambodia in the 60-70's and it was fascinating to see how 'modern' Cambodia was back then! The films also showed a documentary of royal dancers and that it takes 15(!) years to become one of the top ones...Ian was haunted by the images of how they are able to bend their fingers/ellbows/feet into abnormal
