phnom penh

Happy Easter from Phonm Penh!
Amy and I will move on to Siem Reap tomorrow after spending more time than planned in Cambodia's capital. Phonm Penh is a fun and slightly crazy place. The traffic itself would be enough to drive those on the edge completely over it, but luckily Amy and I only observe the traffic from the safety of a tuk-tuk, rides on which are a source of entertainment in themselves.
We've had fun here seeing the sights, the bright and shiny and the historical and not so shiny. We also ran into some old friends from the slow boat, which was a lot of fun, and we spent some time playing with Cambodian kids living in the neighborhood.
With the end of our trip in sight, Amy and I are having a little bit of trouble not longing for the comfort of air conditioning and soft beds, but we saved the best for last and are definitely looking forward to the temples of Angkor Wat.
