Phnom Penh, Cambodia - Sunset Cruise, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, Independence Monument, Apsara Dance @ National Museum, Central Market, Silk Island, Wat Phnom, Wat Ounalom

Cambodia has always held a special place in my heart
Especially after the visit to Siem Reap in 2018
The history, culture, architecture, food and people have always captured my heart

This time
We visited Phnom Penh
It was a 4 days 3 nights trip
Let the pictures tell you the story~
Sunset Cruise





























You can either choose the cruise with buffet-style or the one with free flow of beer & soft drinks
We chose the later as it was cheaper




































Sun was setting~ Just so beautiful~










































This is the casino at NagaWorld

















































We went to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum & Choeung Ek Genocidal Center (Killing Field)
It was really sad and stressful to see how those people were being tortured
Took some pictures but I dont think its appropriate to share it here
Hope those people can rest in peace








































Trying this Khmer Platter out at the Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC)





























Passed by the Independence Monument on a tuk tuk






































National Museum at night















































We were there to watch the traditional Apsara Dance

































































































































































































































Watching this show was the best decision I ever made in Phnom Penh
It was so worth every penny
Thumbs up to all the dancers & performers
Highly recommended to watch it in Phnom Penh!
Central market
























































Daily lives of the local




























On a boat again! Off to see the silk island!












































































Big cities on the other side
More buildings!

































































Say hi to my friend!





























Silkworms and their eggs






































Their cocoon
































































Getting the thread from the cocoon





































Dying them into different colour


























































This design takes months to complete






































Hmm looks pretty complicated?





























Saw this scene on our way back to the boat






























































































Wat Phnom





































































































Wat Ounalom





















































































Not forgetting Amazon coffee before we went back to Malaysia~






































Bye Phnom Penh~























Location: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Australia Part 11- Stanwell Park, Kiama Blowhole, Kings Point Retreat Ulladulla for Camping

Image
Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
