Phnom Penh, Cambodia, reminds me of Cebu of 10 years ago. It is, at the same time, modern and laid back. There are very few tall buildings (over 10 floors) and there are many residential structures with beautiful traditional architecture. And heavy (?) traffic is like 6 a.m. in Manila. I like Phnom Penh.

Before coming here, friends (who have not been here) had warned me about the peace and order situation. Even Cambodian friends had warned me about petty street crimes like pickpocketing and snatching of bags and jewelry. In three days, I have only experienced the good side of the city and its people.
