Cambodia- Phnon Penh - 14 December 2009

From Siem Reap, our coach headed off to Phnom Penh. One of the break stops where we saw this view.




Fruits sold at the market





Delicacies - Fried insects




Squid baked in the sun




Cambodia is known for the fried insects. Suppose to be delicacies. Cehao, one of our travel participant tried it and he loved the food. We girls decided to give it a miss.



Royal Palace, a 18th century French Villa presented to Cambodia by Empress Eugenia after the opening of Suez Canal. I was awed by the beauty of the place. So used to see the beautiful architecture in Europe, I was very suprised Cambodia had such nice places too.
