In reply to Elliott. Hope that Phnom Penh starts to grow on you... you should check out some of my newer posts on the city, you might find a place that turns your opinion around!

:O I don’t dislike any big city in South East Asia. I’d probably put Manila low on my list, but Phnom Penh wouldn’t be number one. I’m here right now for the second time and I just can’t get into it. Ho Chi Minh is actually my number one. Spent 2 months there. My sister lives there and maybe that’s why I’ve seen so much that most people haven’t in Saigon. But definitely my number one.

Alex,
Thanks for linking me to your other blogs.
This was exactly what I was looking for 😉
I’m travelling with three others, and they’ve been very sceptical about going to PP as people have been telling them that it’s a dead place full of graves. I love seeing PP through your eyes thus far and am all for exploring more of its hidden secrets in 2 weeks’ 🙂

Once again, thanks for doing PP justice. Now I can’t wait to get myself there 😉

Hey Alex, I just came across your blog and I am really enjoying reading your stories. I can understand why you love Phnom Penh so much. I have been living here for almost 10 months now and I am loving it here. Like you say it is not as stressful as other big Asian cities and remains a charm I can’t quite explain. If you ever decide to move here I can give you some tips if you like. 🙂

In reply to Camels & Chocolate.

I TRIED SO HARD to like HCMC…. but it just didn’t work out between us. Le sigh. I visited KL when I was deep in the honeymoon period with Mark so even a trip to McDonald’s for midnight ice cream cones seemed like the most fantastic thing that ever happened in the universe. I’m pretty sure that even sans the rose tinted glasses I would like it though. A few quick recommendations: Go to the Menara KLC viewing tower at night. Go to the aquarium underneath the Petronas Towers (I’m assuming you are an aquarium lover like me) and go to… Reggae Bar, I think it’s called? A Bob Marley shrine in the middle of a Muslim metropolis. This comment is getting really rambly so I’ll just end things here.

OK, I’m with you on LOVING PP (and I was only there for a hot minute). But I also loved HCMC and have disliked everywhere I’ve been in Malaysia (although I’ve yet to visit KL and I hear it has a lot more to offer than KK and Penang, etc.).
