Exploring Phnom Penh.

The main way to get around as a tourist is by tuk-tuk. Though it is quite warm, there's a cool breeze in the open passenger compartment, so no air-con is needed. The view's better than from a cab, too.

Some tuk-tuks are decorated and have their names painted on the side.

O is ready for a tour of the capitol.

Wat Penh dominates a hill in the middle of town.

Near the wat, there are lots of stands where you can buy floral offerings.

And birds.

Also, there are monkeys.

The wat itself is a Buddhist shrine, but there are many subsidiary shrines
to various deities. Many are crowned with vivid LED halos and auras.

Sunset from the balcony of our hotel.

Later we went to dinner at a restaurant overlooking the river,
where we were treated to a performance of apsara dancing.
We would see the carved representations of previous
performances on the walls of the various palaces and
temples in the Angkor Wat complex.
