My first time in Phnom Penh City was in 2013. I didn't like this city! Because it was hot, dusty, the city looks old, damp, the food & (they said) full of scams so made me a bit down. But since it was for a business trip, I can't really explore. So, I said I should come back again to explore the city to my heart's content. Fast forward, now the city is being upgraded. Developments are everywhere. The city was s till hot, but I can see the progressiveness in their development of infrastructures, as well as their daily lives.

Bangun subuh-subuh, gowes sepeda butut ke area Angkor Wat, desak-desakan dengan ribuan turis lain untuk mendapatkan  foto Sunrise  yang apik dan ngantri untuk naik ke tower utamanya,  keliling Angkor Thom , lihat-lihat wajah besar di Bayon, nongkrong di warung-warung depan Teras Gajah. Sekarang, masuk area The Big Circle of Angkor Wat. ---- Artikel ini merupakan rangkaian perjalanan  solo backpacking  gua keliling ASEAN selama kurang lebih sebulan.
