Phnom Penh
12/20/11
Arrived in Phnom Penh yesterday. It is quite a city! Beautiful river-front walkway, tons of restaurants and places to stay, great people. We walked along the water last night and there were big groups of people out doing aerobics and dancing/exercising. Each group had it's own personality - a bunch of older ladies with oldies music, some people with "traditional" sounding Cambodian music doing slow "martial arts" looking moves, some kids with some very well-organized hip hop moves - it was like the place was filled with competing flash mobs. I loved it!
Today we are headed to the Tuol Sleng Prison museum. It won't be cheerful, but I definitely want to see it. I still can't believe something so horrific happened to this country so recently and they have rebounded in every way to become this wonderful place.
