Well now we are in Cambodia. Phnom Penh is our first stop. Here you can choose whether you pay in dollars or riel. We have even a little of everything.
The hotels are cheaper again, as the food. What pleased us and the pocketbook. In addition, tourists are hardly move.
The city has only 1.2 million inhabitants, making it very clear. But the traffic is like everywhere in Asia. There is only one traffic rule. All road users have tacitly agreed not to collide.
Phnom Penh is on the river Tonte Sap and the Mekong. As we stood on the riverbank, we were amazed. The Tonte Sap flows upstream. This is absolutely unique in the world. We were told, that leads to the dryness of the river a little water. The water level of the sea and then lies about the Mekong river level Tonte Sap. Consequently, it must flow upwards.
The first day we are a little in the city walking around. want to keep abreast of TukTuk riders must have a load. First, we
have looked at the Stupa Wat Phnom. Wat Phnom is the most famous stupa of Phnom Penh. Built on a 27m high artificial hill with 300m diameter. According to legend, had the construction led in 1372, the wealthy widow Daun Chi Penh, after five Buddha statues, four bronze and found a stone in a Koki tree trunk on the banks of the Mekong, by a huge tidal wave was washed downriver. Then it went on to
Ounalom Wat. Ounalom Wat was built in 1443 in order to store a hair of the Buddha. So also really important stupa.
we have the National Museum a few olle stones and statues admired, the 4th from the teiweise and 5 Th century.
Per TukTuk we went to concentration camps Choenung Ek. Here Pol Pot's men have killed 17,000 people detained and sometimes brutally. Just as the Tuol Sleng Museum that formerly served as a school and was converted under Pol Pot to jail, torture and execution facility. We were more than concerned, because the regime has detained all by photography and is now exhibited in part. Dark spots are available in many national stories.
to cheer us on the last day to the Royal Palace which was unfortunately closed because the king wanted to relax in the garden a little in his hammock and the Silver Pagoda. The soil is covered with 5,000 silver tiles. Each of them weighs 1kg.
We also have spent even a really nice evening with the couch surfing community of Phnom Penh. In a German restaurant. There were buffet and BBQ. As the cook is German, we have sweetened with egg salad, meatloaf, potato salad and shish kebab in the evening.
