Phnom Penh was once the pearl of Asia, but that all ended after the wars in the 70s. The main tourist attraction at the moment is sadly The Killing Fields where over 8000 skulls (victims of the Khmer Rouges) have been found. Fortunetly, the city is rebuilding and becoming a world class destination again with a cafe culture and world-class food scene. The main attraction for me to go to Phnom Penh was the Schlepers. Scott and Helen used to work at my school and it’s also where they met and fell in love. Two kids later they decided to move to Cambodia to teach there. It was really great to see friends from home while I was on the trip.
They always play Uno while waiting for their food in restaurants. It’s a great way to pass the time.
A little pampering for Helen on mothers day. We both got pedicures!
The Killing Fields. One of the location where the Khmer Rouge would execute people they thought were against the regime.
