After a few days exploring traditional villages, today we visited the capital of Phnom Phen. Our day started out with a cyclo ride, human-powered bicycle transportation that provided us with a tour of the city. It’s a colorful place and our excursions emersed us in the everyday city life, as well as allowing us to visit some of the landmark destinations, such as the royal palace. It was a full day of excitement which also included some sobering moments when we made stop at the high school used by the Khmer Rouge to torture the citizens during the reign of Pol Pot.
