Phnominal Phnom Penh?

Mmmnot so much. It's pretty dirty and poor here, and there are plenty of beggars and rip-off schemes too. I visited the killing fields and the school-turned-prison used by the Khmers during the genocide of the 1970's. Pretty heavy stuff to be tourist stops, but they certainly fit with this city's image; lots of work to be done to compete with the Ha Long Bays and Sapas of the world! Hopefully the majesty of Angkor Wat up North can even out my feelings on Cambodia.
