Memory back home "My Beautiful Phnom Penh"

Living in a new environment is a good change, n so exciting, but there is no place like our HOME. this is a "Phnom Penh" collection.







These r on the way to Wat Phnom, thought to be the central point of Phnom Penh.






above is the statue of Old Lady "Phenh" whose name the city is named after.










i like it here. i like the greenery in the middle of the city like this place. it is of course Wat Phnom.



above is the Independence Monument. it was built after Cambodia got full independence from the French colonization.

from here we can also have a sight of the Independence Monument. above is the statue of four Nagas (dragons) spinning their tails together. it is a fountain. at night there is a beautiful colouring from under the water. i love it here.

this is some views of the National Assembly.


this is a Buddhist library. near the library there is a statue of the former top rank monk who contributed a lot to the development of Khmer language n who compiled the first Khmer dictionary. he is widely known by everyone in the country. his name is Samdech Sang "Chuan Nart".



this is a nice place to see. it's in front of the Royal Palace.



this is in front of the National Museum.
