Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh sprawls west from the confluence of the Mekong & Tonle Sap rivers. Despite initial impresions, the heart of Phnom Penh has a strong appeal. The french influence is evident in the colonial shophouses lining the boulevard with the occasional majestic monument or public building animating the cityspace. The Phnom Perhois are open and friendly. The majority of sights can be covered in a day or two and i'm sure it will be a nice one..so why not put phnompenh in one of your must visit this year...

@ Wat Phnom - with phnom meaning 'hill' in khmer, legend has it that Phnom Penh was named after this small hill.
