Cambodia
Phnom Penh
Traveling in Cambodia was a mixed bag. Angkor Wat did not disappoint, and the scenery was beautiful but the country hosts millions of tourists (myself included) each year... and this has had a noticeable effect. The countries scarred past paired with the influx of tourist money brings a Cambodia of contradictions. Establishments after the tourist/expat dollar crowd in with open air markets,an NGO settles in down the street from a brothel and cutthroat tuk-tuk drivers line the streets; Cambodia is memorable.
