Phnom Penh, the capital city
Above: Adam tucking into deep fried tarantulas. He did not get a good night kiss! Was like chewing a pencil apparently.
It's not only spiders on the menu. Crickets, locusts and cockroaches, fried with fish oil and chili are also enjoyed as a beer snack. Insect sellers line the streets and we spotted cricket traps amongst the paddy fields during our trip from Phnom Penh to Siam Reap.
Above: Once a high school, turned prison, today is the 'Genocide Museum.' A chilling education on the reign of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, from 1975 - 1979. The period saw the death of approximately 2 million Cambodians through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labor, about 25% to 30% of the entire population. We also visited mass graves, named the 'killing fields' where executions took place.
Above: Home to the hippies of Cambodia, lakeside at Phnom Penh. A cool place for a sun downer.
Above: National museum, home to many restored statues and religious relics. Adam was more interested in the fish ponds!
Above: The beautiful royal palace complex, home to a stunning emerald and diamond studded Buddha.
