Phnom Penh – highlights

Phnom Penh was…..gritty. The recovery phase (I mentioned earlier) is still in motion. You could tell people were survivors…and the NGO activity is the highest I’ve ever experienced. It’s not like I didn’t feel safe – but you could tell ALOT was happening behind closed doors. This is where I first read about Somaly Mam and her plight…which got me hooked to further research on human trafficking and prostitution. Again…not to give Phnom Penh a negative light – I had some amazing experiences like…taking a cooking class, checking out the temples, being in the Phnom Penh Post and actually checking out S-21 and the Killing Fields. BUT the most interesting experience was experiencing PRIDE. Check out the images.
