Phnom Penh , the capital city of Cambodia, is also the city that has the largest population. The city is striving towards economic development with much diversity from the beauty of the Royal Palace (Caption 1), bustling marketplaces (Captions 3, 5-9), sites of poverty (Captions 14 & 15), to saffrons of monks around the city (even found in malls playing with their cell phones).  It was one known as the "Pearl of Asia", however it later was tarnished from war, revolution, and independence (Caption 2). Since then, the city has risen to economic development, with a bustling bars, cafes, and food stalls. Getting Phnom Penh isn't difficult, the easiest options are hailing for a tuk tuk or hire a scooter. The city offers much to see if you want to get around.

Image
Ta Prohm is one of the many temples in Angkor, Cambodia, located about 1 km east of Angkor Thom. It is said to be built during the late 12th or early 13th centuries but today UNESCO had included Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List. One of the most fascinating and notable landmarks of the Ta Prohm are the very old giant trees overgrown on the buildings as pictured below. To visit the Ta Prohm you can hire a driver to take your there. Instagram: @travellerswill Instagram: @travellerswill Instagram: @travellerswill
