After six hours in a air conditionned  bus,  I got in Phon Penh. THis time I took a luxury bus for 10 dollars. An attendant from the bus company showed us the main attraction during the journey.It s a pleasure to have her own seat, to not have to share it with someone else. 

Phon Pehn has some french colonial remains (buildings, words, food, ...). Cambodians eat bread, that s not the case of the thais.

IN Phon Penh, I stayed close to the bang koak lake. It was nice  in the terrace to admired the sunset on the lake. I was really shoched about the poverty in the street od Phon Pehn. Cambodia just finshed a civil war , there s no foreign investements yet.

I negociated a room for 3.5 US dollars , just under the lake.  Some rats  rans on the terrace but the athmosphere was so peaceful that it was a good deal. It s a hassle there , tourists have around 50 taxi propositions a day, pretty exhausting.

Cambodians are really good people, actually even if  i travel alone , i don t spend lot of time alone , always you find someone or travelers to have a nice chat or to have a meal.

On saturday i rent a electrical bike to visit the killings fields. KIllings fields is a kind of extermination place, a huge number of cambodian were killed during the red kmers period. That s so moving to see this bones, thoussands of skulls....you see so many piece of clothes going out from the soil.

THe battery of the electric bike went off, i had to come back by bike. On sunday I  had a lunch with doctors in a restaurant along the mekong river thanks to klemarey, a french student girl that i met in PP who invited me. After that lunch, we went to visit a village outside PP. There, we saw a library under constrction and  a workshop where they make handicrafts  . Saram a cambodian living in PP is helping people by this way. He is in charge of that project. His goal is to give scolarisation to the youngs and to the adults in that village.They teach also local know-how, by the way the youngs don t need to go to PP, they can work and earn their life in that village and stay there.

It s 6h30 in the morning, the 4 th of february i moved to chau doc in vietnam, after taking two bus ans two boat i reached vietnam. I past the border in along the mekong river. THe boat stoped to make the formalities.
