Phnom Pehn is a miss-mash of weird contradictions.
Towering skyscrapers, international banking, trendy bars and cafés selling high-end cocktails and patisserie. Yep.

| The view from my hotel balcony. |
 |
| Well-preserved buildings near the Old Market. |
Crumbling colonial architecture.
Nightmare tangles of do-it-yourself-wiring.
Yep, that too.
 |
| Back street near the National Museum |
Bad traffic, and delicious afternoon teas.
Run-down streets, noise and rats and grime.
And rising above it all, astonishing street art.
 |
| All that siteseeing makes you hungry.... |
 |
| Near Wat Botum Park |
Stunning artefacts in the National Museum, and a school-turned-prison preserved as a harrowing tourist attraction.
I'm not really certain whether I love or hate Phnom Pehn.
